BANGKOK, Sept 22 (TNA) - Thailand's National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is scheduled to rule on Tuesday on the previous government's resolution which supported Cambodia's listing of the ancient Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site.
The NACC decided last November to press charges against 44 persons including 28 Cabinet members in the Samak Sundaravej administration and state officials in connection with the signing of a joint communique with Cambodia without seeking parliamentary approval as required by the Constitution.
The joint communique was signed by Thailand’s then foreign minister Noppadon Pattama and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An on June 18, 2008.
The NACC decided last Tuesday to postpone the ruling to today.
NACC Commissioner Klanarong Chantik said last week that the NACC would consider the case on two separate issues: impeachment and criminal prosecution following the Constitutional Court's ruling that the joint communique was unconstitutional.
He said the anti-graft commission would tackle whether each of the 44 was intentionally involved in malfeasance that caused damage to the country.
The commission, he explained last week, finished investigating 12 persons, but the other 32 would be further scrutinised with the results to be disclosed on September 29.
Of the 28 accused ministers, four are members of the Abhisit government. They include Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kachornprasart, Deputy Finance Minister Pradit Pattaraprasit, Information and Communication Technology Minister Ranongrak Suwanchawee and Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suvit Khunkitti.
The accused were charged with negligence of duty and violating Article 190 of the 2007 Constitution which imposes that any treaty affecting Thailand's society, economy and integrity of its borders must be approved by Parliament.

FUCK Ah SIEM Chor Marai...
I second to the first comment!
Every neighbour needs to respect each other boundary in order to keep its own citizen in place or otherwise if war occurs again, it will go into another chaos. We asian nations need to find solutions for peace in order to protect our future generation from harm and finding ways to protect all individuals as well like; all for one and one for all and that everyone is equally important regardless who they are or where come from. Asian nation needs to create an international security net to protect everyone who may travel to and from each other country. We Asian nation must reach a common goal and common interest for the best of our society and when one nation needs help the rest must come together as one. We must use the system like European nations, creating a one currency of "Euro" or maybe we can call our currency as "Asiano or "Asian-mono". Just remember the power of love, compassion, share, and respect can be conquered. So, I have one request from Thai, back of and respect Khmer land or Viet and Chiness will be behind us and I don't want any more blood shed for any Asian nation, so in peace my friends.
