BANGKOK, June 30 (TNA) – Thai opposition Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Monday petitioned the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) against accepting a joint statement from Thailand and Cambodia regarding the disputed Preah Vihear temple.
Mr. Abhisit said he had already submitted his party's written objection to the two government's joint communique issued for UNESCO and affirmed he would call for the reconsideration of the Thai cabinet resolution on the matter after the Administrative Court's injunction on the case.
The court on Saturday issued an injunction temporarily blocking the government from supporting Cambodia's unilateral move to have the 11th century temple registered as a World Heritage site.
Meanwhile, a group of 77 senators led by Bangkok Senator Rosana Tositrakul presented a petition to Senate Speaker Prasobsuk Boondech asking that it be forwarded to the Constitution Court for deliberation.
The petition asked the court to consider whether the June 17 Cabinet decision endorsing the Thai-Cambodian Joint Communique supporting Cambodia's unilateral move to apply on Preah Vihear temple was unconstitutional or not.
Meanwhile, Supreme Commander Gen. Boonsang Niempradit said the military was ready to evacuate Thai nationals from Cambodia if there was an untoward confrontation.
He said some people in the northeastern province of Si Sa Ket bordering Cambodia continued protesting and demanding the expulsion of Cambodians out of the overlapping areas of the temple compound.
But military units stationed there had managed to create proper understanding among the people, Gen. Boonsang said.
He said neither the Thai nor the Cambodian sides want to see any clashes between the peoples of the two neighbouring countries.

The temple belongs to Khmer in Thailand. The entire mountain belongs to them. You can't just chop off the peak of the mountain at 600m above sea level and give it to the Khmer in Cambodia. What the French did was immorally wrong. How can the Temple belong to the Khmer in Cambodia when they can't accessed it from Cambodia? And when you can't accessed it, you can't built it. It's simple logic.
Immorally?
How? do you think Thai army invaded and took many provinces from Cambodia, it is moral? This temple was built By Khmer kings and its people before your country established. It is simple and logic.
I do not know you blind yourself or you never studied about the history of South East Asia? read more and you will learn more too. I think because you are too extremis nationalism but don't forget one thing Thai muslims is destroying your wealth and ideology. you are too discriminated to them. Good luck to you and I see the dark time of Thailand is comming near you!
7:32 , you're wrong...Historically Preah Vihear was built by Khmer Empire. Si Saket province in Thai nowadays was Khmer territory. Thai or Siamese are the thief and robboer... You're not embarrased yourself... A Siam...
God has eyes...in one day, you'll die due to your improper passion.
Thai people are now misunderstanding about the history and the real fact of the world...How can you say Temple belong to Thai? Son of a bitch...
Brother@7.46 you are right.
Thai people claims themself as Buddhist but what they are doing is not according to the Buddha's advice or teaching. Most of Thai accademics, politicians, and others know the truth that Preah Vihear temple was built by Khmer and the ICJ rules that it belong to Khmer but they are trying to lye the world vit is their property.

WHO CARES?
UNESCO has already made up their mind. Preah Vihear will be listed as a World Heritage Site.
Cheers,
Khmer Blood....
Yes,It's simple logic,Do you know all your land is belong to Khmer empire? Do you know where are you from?
*Eyes to see
*Ears to hear
*Brain to think
Do you know Thailand Government wish khmer people not to have knowledge or skill,And do you know why? It's very simple logic.Please think about it............
7:46, the Khmer Empire had divided into bits and pieces over centuries now. The question is which part of the Khmer Empire owns Preah Vihear, and that will be the Khmer in Thailand. They have been living on that entire mountain for generation after generation. They speak the same language with the same accent and all, and you can't just cut off the peak of the mountain and claimed that it belongs to the Khmer in Cambodia. The Khmer in Cambodia don't even fit in that area, and for cry out loud, they don't even have access to the temple.
At any rate, have a look at the terrain:

Cambodia is to the south of the white line, and Thailand to the north.
PS: oopsie! Here's a larger view of the terrain.

No matter what, khmer should keep good relation with THAI just in case we were invade the second time by yuon.If yuons do it again where else can we escape to ?.
These Thais are the offsprings of the Thai robbers in the deep past. They care not about their human status. For as long as the have a privilege to harass others for their own benefit they'll do so shamelessly. It is impossible to reason with these shameless animals. Just ignore them as much as you can until you find a chance to pound'em then do it all the way. Spare none of them animals.
Hmm ... I don't know about that, 10:13. What if the Thai attacking us instead, don't you think we should be closer to Yuon for protection. That is what the Lao did.
10:19, the Thai is not the one who climbed up the mountain and claimed the peak of the mountain belongs to them. Get the picture?
Dude 7:32PM,
You need to study the history of Khmer really good. The temple or most parts of Thailand were part of Cambodia. We don't have access to the temple but a steep stair. Got to remember this Khet (Province) is Khmer's province and the real name of that province is Srey Sah Ke. I think Khmer should ask UNESCO to let Khmer have all the rights to reclaim back our belongings.
Now we need to build good access to the temple so the freaking Thai don't have excuse anymore.
Khmer will win no matter what..
The French's map is ridiculous to claim the peak of the mountain belongs to Cambodia. No one will go for that except for the corrupted Kangaroo court.
11:10, Most of the region belongs to Chinese rooted people because they were here first. You can't used your favorite point in history as an excuse to steal land from the Khmer in Thailand. They are Khmer and the temple belongs to them. They don't want to merge with Cambodia, just as you don't want to live with your brothers and sisters or your parent for the rest of your life. Get it?
HUN SEN should instigate all those Khmer in Thailand to rise up and join with their borthers or sisters in Cambodia to recreate our Khmer empire back.
HUN SEN! Come on! Speak Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To 10:13PM
Are you trying to be funny? You are too shallow in you thinking!
Does it matter for you to be raped by the Thaicong or by the Vietcong?
Tell you what! It doesn't matter whether the Thaicong or the Vietcong want to invade Cambodia because there will be conflict and war as alway.
It will cost the Thaicong and the Vietcong something if they ever dream of invading Cambodia! The day will come when Cambodia is no longer a buffer zone or a punching bag for the Thaicong and the Vietcong!
Cambodian must call to arm to balance the power of the Thaicong and the Vietcong in Southeast Asia!
Cambodia's unilateral move or the Thais changed their mind?
this brings out all kind of diplomatic problems for the thai. not only they violated the spirit of asean's no interference of its members' nations' affairs, they also show contempt of icj ruling of 1962, not to mention a major violation of the spirit of the UN laws or charters that advocates the rights of a sovereigned nation like cambodia. my god, thailand's going to be in deep kimchee sooner or later, if they don't change their arrogant way with cambodia. just because cambodia was at war and had suffered from the KR atrocity and its politicians are trying to instill democracy value and rebuilding cambodia, etc..., it does not give thailand the rights to meddle with cambodia's internal affairs like the listing of preah vihear as a world heritage site. my, they really show their ugly, obnoxious color and risking condemnation by cambodia and the entire world community. how could cambodia trust them to co-joint in any development, not to mention they want to steal cambodia's preah vihear temple. be skeptical of thailand, cambodia, for they seem to think they are running the southeast asian country of cambodia. perhaps, it's a sign that thailand is heading in the wrong direction for sure. remember the old sayings of what goes around comes around, well it comes back around to bite them in the ass and more. god bless cambodia.
enough wasting our breathe with the ignorant thai thugs; that's why they lost the icj ruling, need we say more than that?
forget both the ancient archenemy of cambodia, thailand and vietnam. cambodia don't need any of them in this days and ages anymore like in the dark ages. nowadays, cambodia can look beyond thailand and vietnam for any assistance. plus, there is the UN, and the rest of the world; it's a huge planet and a huge world out there. so, what make thailand and their stinking siem people and vietnam and their vietcong people think cambodia need their assistance like in the dark ages for anything? think about it, my fellow khmer people. we can look way beyond these criminal people for the world is very modern nowadays. that's all. god bless cambodia.
No we can't survive without Thai, Lao. Each Khmer faction needs protectorate.
correction: No we can't survive without Thai, Lao, and Yuon. Each Khmer faction needs protectorate.
12:53, Chinese people nowadays is not the same as before. I am sure they can live with 50/50 split without spilling a drop of blood between them. Only Khmer in Cambodia seems not to be able to hack the idea of a bloodless settlement.
12:53pm! Shallow thinking wants to know whether you are a real brave or just plain KONG HEAN.If HUN SEN's govt prepare to go to war with Thai. Are you willing to join the Army and fight for your country ? or you prefer to stay abroad and let somebody else do the fighting? .
Me cutting by brothers' and sisters' throat just because they married to Chinese rooted people or whatever? Forget about it. I am not and infidel like you, 2:53.
On the other hand, it would be a difference story if a German, French, or what have you, trying to grab the temple from Khmer people, may it be Khmer-Thai, Khmer-Lao, or Khmer-Cambodia.
I BAR Siamese 7:32PM you have just came from hallow tree after 13th century; as my dear friend next below you said Preah ViHear was built by KHMER EMPIRE do you know when was that?? jerk!!!???. You're claiming as youown is insane, as your logic wordy said though!, was its buillt by Siamese or Thai ??? when???. Don't be so arrogant! I BAR! MAI Moeung, I am feeling that your blackout is near you! Down Ah thieves Siamese!
7:32
take a remedial history class of khmer civilization. you idiot. Do not claim you are khmer in Thailand. there's non. they are merely a copy-cat. You belong to thai nation. The temple belong to Khmer nation which solemly represent the khmer! , not the thai. you stupid traitor
The temple can't belong to Khmer in Cambodia. It belongs to the Khmer in Thailand who live in that area since day1. The terrain map said it all.
simple logic khmer in thailand about 2 million, khmer in cambodia 14million, hummm khmer worldwide endless you piece of siam payaya salad fool. who cares about the khmer in thailand, they are thai national that has fought for thailand generation after generation. MP from Buriram in a video speech told the khmer in cambodia to rise up, what a fool rise up so the thai use them and the khmer in cambodia to fight over one another and take over, like their trick over and over again. Guess what punk!!
we khmer are worldwide, more smarter and powerful because we can lobby the UN, 500,000 khmer in USA alone punk. we got BA, BS, MBA, JD, MD, from well renowed university American university you fool. so what if the french gave it to us, because they knew it belong to the cambodian by history and by lineage not the thais.
your logic to say it belongs to the khmer in thailand is ill found, because they are thai national reprensenting you and your king, they don't represent cambodians.
KHMER USA, KHMER CANADA, KHMER FRANCE KHMER AUSTRIALIA KHMER ENGLAND, KHMER DUTCH, KHMER WORLDWIDE NOT KHMER IN THAILAND.
You got a losing battle ahead of you because cambodia secure 16members already. do you think they buy your BS, only a fool will beleive you becase the case was close since 1962 but yet sore losers can get why they lost to cambodia
I've got my B.S (bull shit) degree and i don't take shit for an answer.Preah vihear did belong to khmers in Thailand.If you want to know just ask them.
That is correct; Plus, there is hardly any Khmer from Cambodia living in that area for centuries now. Accordingly, the temple can't belong to Khmer in Cambodia.
9:51am! only the best and the brightest can figure it out, the rest are just lunatic and dumb.
DEAR ALL KHMER FELLOWS!!!
The thai supreme commander had announced that their military is ready to evacuate all thai citizens from cambodia if the two countries has a confrontation.Is this a threat?????or is this a "look down" comment to our military ability????what ever it is,I would like to invite all khmer citizen around the world to protest against the thai military present in cambodia at any situation.Any thai military plane in cambodian arospace must be shot down,any thai military present inside cambodian territory must be arrested or face a fatal resistance.WE SAY NO THAI MILITARY IN CAMBODIA AT ANY SITUATION!!!!!!
Khmer government has the ability to secure all foriegners in cambodia in any situation,NO THAI MILITARY IS NEEDED.
from khmer in USA.
10:03, you can't expect to much from people with BS, MS, and Phd in Cyclo Driving from the west.
