The Central Administrative Court on Wednesday ordered the revocation of a resolution passed by the Samak Sundaravej cabinet approving the Thai-Cambodian joint communique supporting Phnom Penh's bid to list Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site with the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
The joint communique was issued on May 22, 2008 and the cabinet under the late PM Samak passed the resolution approving it on June 17 of the same year.
The case was filed on June 24 last year by 13 people including senators, academics and human rights activists.
In their complaint, they asked the court to revoke the June 17 cabinet resolution supporting the joint communique because it was not given parliamentary approval as required under Section 190 of the constitution.
The joint declaration was signed by Mr Noppadon and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An on June 18 last year, a day after the Samak administration gave it the green light.
On June 28 last year, the Administrative Court issued an injunction ordering the suspension of the joint communique. The Supreme Administrative Court later upheld the ruling.
The Central Administrative Court ruled that the communique was a form of agreement that involved Thailand's boundary. The communique, therefore, required prior approval from parliament, it said.
The court ordered the revocation of the communique as requested by the petitioners.
Mr Nitithorn Lamlua, a lawyer of the People's Alliance for Democracy, said he would send the court verdict in this case to the National Anti-Corruption Commission and ask the anti-graft agency to take legal action against Mr Noppadon for malfeasance.
Mr Noppadon earlier argued that the joint communique did not require parliament's approval because it was not an international treaty. He said the document would not lead to the loss of Thai territory to Cambodia as it made clear to Phnom Penh there would be no change regarding the disputed area near Preah Vihear.

Siems, you should give back to Cambodia, all of your actual Khmer provinces and we will give you back your Taksin.
We know that your nature is thief but we can forgive you if you start to be honest.
Who give a F%*K about this stupid court! Kungaro court seem far more credible.
The idiot Thai court got no jurisdiction in Cambodia territory, your rule does not effect anything in Cambodia territory.
Stories came out from Thailand are very contradictory of each other. One article says, "thai eager to ties relationship with cambodia", but then there's an article saying "court revoked Phrea Vihear joint communique", what the hell is that? What is your true face? Thai tell the truth and stop playing politic. Cambodian government need to stop playing politic as well and take the whole case to court and UN in New York and ask the Thai to give back all the lost provinces that they took...I'm done with this game...I think people on both side of the fence had enough of this lie.
Thialand never give up! Khmer should be well prepared for more encroaching from Thai-thief or WAR! those sports activities are nonsense...it's a wasting time!
I agree, cambodian generals should spend time prepare the troops and how to defend our homeland instead of wasting fucken time with Thais bullshit jointed activities craps!!
Thailand really hated Khmers, don't think that these things(sports jointed) can make them happy toward us at all?...i remembered when we spoke khmer languages on the city bus, they start to staring at us, like they want to eat us alive or something? so, i have to shut up and quiet, saying nothing! til we got off at Poi Pet...shit!
To King of Siamese
You can do everything in ur country but if you put you step in Preah Vihear you will be blow out from the world from Hun Sen Gun
