All Cambodians must lobby Unesco for Preah Vihear

By Mora Mao

Our Cambodian government and people must not let our guard down, this is the second time that UNESCO committee members have delayed or postponed the final consideration whether to approve our plan or to reject our plan. Now the Unesco's World Heritage Commission is now expected to reach a decision on the Preah Vihear temple during its meeting in Bahrain next year, and no body know what decision the UNESCO members will be rendered next year. Now, we must discuss among ourselves and consult with the experts of how to pursue this matter to a true victory resolution. Our Cambodian government must present every documents and arguments to influence the decision makers, to show why they should approve our plan, and why the Thai made illegitimate claim. Our Cambodian people inside the country and all over the world must unite together to call, email, send letter to UNESCO Members and to rally all over the world to protest against the Thai that they falsified this claim and to influence and support UNESCO members to ultimately approve our Preah Vihear Temple Management Plan. Below are some members at the UNESCO Bureau.

Google is totally irresponsible for publishing incorrect boundary lines of Cambodia, not conforming to the UN map. If left uncheck, this could cause irreparable harm to the territorial integrity of Cambodia.

The Royal Government of Cambodia recently made a request to Google concerning this issue over the Preah Vihear, Poipet and other areas. Revisions have been made by Google, but still inaccurate per UN recognized map.

1. Google’s Preah Vihear area is still incorrect per the 1904-07 Franco-Siamese treaty map of Annex I which was deposited at UN. Google chose to follow the American army map instead showing the 4.6 km2 as part of Thailand. The line further cut into the entry way of Preah Vihear temple with a broken dash line. Totally wrong, totally impartial! Dash line would yield to Thai for future claims. It should be a solid line further north by at 300 m.

2. Previously, the line was completely wrong, showing Angkor Wat entry gate and several Cambodian casinos on the Thai side. After Google’s recent revision, the error still persists. that the actual boundary line is in the middle of O’Chrov river bridge, not 200 m over the bridge into Khmer land.

3. The boundary lines of Kampuchea-Vietnam is still incorrect because there were no attempt by the RGC to demand correction. The Prek Krabao canal is the actual boundary between Cambodia and Vietnam. However, Google’s map shows it at least 500 m to 1000 m west of the canal. Now this is insane and reckless!

4. The RGC must send an official letter to the Vietnamese government why on earth were their motives building highways 1-3 km way inside the Cambodian side of Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri provinces. Do the Vietnamese think that the Cambodia-Vietnam boundary lines are transparent and not official?

5. All the boundary lines around Cambodia must be analyzed and scrutinized to ensure correctness per Cambodia UN deposited map.

Khmer people lost so much already. It is our duty in each generation to verify and safeguard the land that we have left. If the International Court of Justice decision over Preah Vihear Temple in 1962, some 48 years ago has no meaning to the Thais, who else can protect our homeland but ourselves…

ដំណោះស្រាយមួយដែលជាក្តីសង្ឃឹមរបស់ខ្មែរ
គឺយកពេលបង្កើនកំលាំងទ័ព ដោយប្រមូល
កងកំលាំងទាំងចាស់ទាំងថ្មី រួមទាំងកំលាំងទ័ព
អតីតៈយោធាខ្មែរក្រហមផងអោយបានស្រេច រួចសឹមនិយាយជាមួយសៀម។
ពីព្រោះសៀមដែលហ៊ានប្រមាថខ្មែរសព្វថ្ងៃនេះ
ដោយវាអាងកំលាំងទ័ពវា ហើយកុំថាឡើយ
តុលាការអន្តរជាតិណាធ្វើអោយវាគោរព តែបើ
ខ្មែរមានកំលាំងប្រហាក់ប្រហែលនឹងវា គឺពេល
នោះវានឹងចចារត្រឹមត្រូវជាមួយខ្មែរ។

Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
