Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has sought UN's help by writing a letter to the UN Security Council after Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva threatened to use force to settle the Preah Vihear dispute if diplomacy does not yield a satisfactory result for Thailand.
In an address to Thai protesters on 7th August, Mr. Abhisit was alleged to have said that Thailand is prepared to use force to take control over a plot of land surrounding the temple complex claimed by both Thailand and Cambodia. "About the land encroachment, we will cancel the MOU if the problem can't be settled. We will use both democratic and military means," Mr. Abhisit was quoted by The Nation newspaper as telling the protesters. The Cambodian Foreign Ministry swiftly issued a strong statement in response to Abhisit's threats.
In the letter, Mr. Hun Sen had drawn the attention of the UNSC to the fact that Preah Vihear temple issue had been settled once and for all by the Franco-Siamese Convention of 1904, the Franco-Siamese Treaty of 1907 and the verdict of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of 1962 and the 1908 maps which were accepted by the then Siamese king.
Mr. Hun Sen's letter had also drawn the UNSC's attention to the verdict of the ICJ which stated that "...the Temple of Preah Vihear is situated in territory under the sovereignt of Cambodia;"
and that "Thailand is under an obligation to withdraw any military or police forces, or other guards or keepers, stationed by her at the Temple, or in its vicinity within Cambodian territory."
The letter accused Thailand of violating articles 2.3 and 2.4 of the UN Charter. The letter also stressed that Cambodia re-affirms its policy not to use force to settle any disputes, but said it reserves its "legitimate rights" to defend its "sovereignty and territorial integrity" in the face of aggression by Thailand.
Mr. Hun Sen had also requested the UNSC to widely circulate the letter to all members of the UNSC for information.

I got UN to back me up, let's see Bangkok boy Abhisit Vejjajiva whom will assist him.
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)?
Cambodia must fight hard on the military, diplomatic and negotiation level. Thailand has stepped up its campaign locally and internationally, so Cambodia must respond to bombard international community with some facts and legal aspects of the P.Vihear issue.
Why does it take so long for the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime who is responsible for killing almost two million innocent Khmer peoples and counting to notify the United Nation Security Councel?
Correction
Councel = Council
Why does it take so long for the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime (who is responsible for killing almost two million innocent Khmer peoples and counting) to notify the United Nation Security Council?
Haha strong man of Cambodia, Prime Minister of Cambodia, afraid of Thai. Where are your weapons that have been prepared for Thai invasion. Don't tell me that you ask Vietname to have you in this war.
I think Ah Hun Zen CPP had something secrets with Ah Thais, that's why this idiot leader did not want to go to the UN earlier.
All political parties should join hand at this juncture to fight our common enemy,the THAI.HUN SEN should invite Mr. SAM RAINSY to come in and form a formidable defense for the defense of our homeland.I believe Mr.SAM RAINSY is intellectually superior then the rest.
Before fighting anybody let's see that Hun Xen stops beating the starving helpless Khmer peasants, let them recover, and gain strength to be able to face the Thai.
He should send his and his cronies' kids and grand kids first because they are fat enough to beat the Thais.
The real weakness of Cambodia is lack of SOLIDARITY among the khmer people. I wish PM Hun Sen realizes that he is a STRONG MAN only in Cambodia among defenceless population. In the face of outside threat from yuons/siems, Hun Sen will need the support of the whole population, including Sam Rainsy and Mu Sochua. Hun Sen has to make a difficult choice. So be it.
Sam Rainsy told the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime to report to the United Nation Security Council that the Thai invaded Cambodia.
Thai invaded Cambodia at least four different places.

I doubt the validity of this letter. I don't think it is an official one. This is the government ploy to get reaction from the public.
I heard on RFA but they did not mention that the source was verified by independent group.
Yes seek resolutionUN security council.
Get your man and guns ready for the Siem dogs.
This is facist gov't fuel facist group. Facist understand no diplomacy.
This is the 21st century.
Cambodians, time to get pushed around by nationalist Thais dogs is over.
It is time to for sacrifice. The big bully is up to its old game again.
Remember: Hit a bully hard where it hurts most. This is the only way to make him remember.
CAmbodian Americans,
Write or callyour respective US congress to stop the US from arm sale to facist Thais gov't.
First,i like to remind all khmer compatriots not to follow whatsoever the bad exemple set by TA KHLAING MOEUNG ,that's commit suicide first then went and recruit all the army of the dead to fight the real war.
PM Hun Sen is much better than Ah Sva royal bloods! They are the waste of human beings.
In 1979, while most of the Viet soldiers were in Cambodia, China attacked from the north.
The Viet was able to held back the Chinese invasion in the north. According to many obsevers China got a bloody nose.
Cambodians, don't be intimidate by these Thai dogs.
Cambodia will be back to stoneage, if your government does not heed the warning. Now, your idiotic leader Hun Sen is frightened, and he might shit in his pants, because he will be faced with our military might. Tell your leader to choose developments--not devastation.
What do you have to lose, all of your government officials are rich, and only the people are dirt poor, and therefore let us do the job for you, and then the people can take it from there.
Preah Viharn will always belongs to Thailand without a doubt.
Cambodian soldiers, stand your ground.
Prove to these Thai dogs that they bark like a pit bull, but bite like a chihuahua.
12:00PM
Don't worry.The U.S will not side with either parties in this conflict.The U.S will certainly ask both sides to exercise the utmost restrain.
12:07PM
Preah vihear belongs to Cambodia and Cambodia only.We will cut all arms that try to steal it from us again.
The US is our best ally. That said, if the Cambodian government fucked with us, Cambodia will return to stoneage.
Be smart, and don't be stupid like your predecessors.
Everyone knows that your current leader is fucking idiot, and he can only shit on his people, and now we dare him and his fellow men to shit on us, if you people have the balls.
Cambodians are savage and uncivilized.
12:07pm dog,
Thailand has plenty of dirt poor herself. Get your gov't to take care of them first.
Why do you think the Red Shirt get so angry the facist gov't. Their needs are being met by the facist gov't.
Cambodian American,
Time to get your state representative to work for your tax dollars.
Tell the US Politicians to review US-Thailand relationship. Thailand is becoming a facist state. The gov't suppress its people, just like Burma.
The US cannot and should not turn a blind eye to the tyranny of the Thai regime.
The biggest idiot is in Bangkok.
Every time the PAD/Yellow squeeze his ball he submits to their will.
Tell me who is the idiot?
Let gives some thieves Siem some experiences, Kicks them always back to Chinese and take our lost land back. SO this time don't let them stolen from us again and also don't forget from ah Youn too.
Thailand is facing big time division in her society. The Red can't stand the arrogant Yellow due to double standard application of the law.
Thailand's political problems run deep. So the Thai gov't use Cambodia as a scapegoat to unite the people.
Whatever the Thais want to do to resolve internal conflict Cambodians must learn to sacrifice for their territory.

The fascist government of Thailand was murder, miserably fail in diplomacy on Preah Vihear Temple issued, now they try to instigate neighboring war, but we were ready to defense our motherland.

12:20PM,
U.S is also our friend.Your govt is undemocratic.Your idiot prime minister came to power not by election but by street demonstration and thus have no merit..Even thought the U.S has not publicly condemned yours but,the U.S never wholeheartedly satisfy with it.Now,your govt want to steal preah vihear from us.Well, just try it if you dare.We will inflict a casualty on you and, you will learn that stealing bad.
Remember Cambodian,
Not all Thais want war.
Only the PAD/Yellow who terrorized Bangkok's airport are the radical ones. Most of these group leaders are actually decendents of Chinese immigrants. They are the elite of Bangkok.
Thaksin, Abhisit, Srimuang, and many in the Thai military are Chinese decents. Unfortunately they are able to brain washed the mass to support their idiology.
Actually the US is already unhappy with the gov't of Thailand due to 90 plus deaths, and 2000 injuries in May's demonstration in Bangkok.
The US maybe already reconsidering ties with the current Thai gov't.
It would not take much to convince the US to scale back support for Thailand.
Aphisit can use his armed forces to crush the RED SHIRT but,it will be his grave mistake to do that to the khmer.
Abhisit is one spineless PM!
He goes to great extend to stay in power, even allowing the terrorists PAD break emergency decree, while suppressing the Reds from group gathering.
One would expect better from an Oxford graduate.
Abhisit is not that much different from Hun Sen. Sometimes I think they went to the same school
Thailand is deeply divide. One has to wonder how long the gov't and the military can keep suppressing the opposition.
Abhisit and his PAD friends Are warmongers.
They forget a few very important things:
1. The international court will give far more weight to the French colonial maps signed off upon by the Thais and will consider the American army maps useless.
2.Worse because of the atrocities committed with the help of the Thai government on the Cambodian the Lao and the Vietnamese people these countries will take a common position against Thailand.
An army that can not even win a war from a handful of terrorists in the South will have a very tough time defeating a war hardened nation that will certainly receive support from their neighbors.
I do not think UN serious about traitor Hun Sen, because he violated too many UN rules and why just Thai? While the youn've encroached khmer land everyday,lately signed the contract with Evil axe Iran(Missile state). Do not give me the ugly look I am not Thai just simple khmer just observe what is right and wrong that s it.
Please remembered of the former State of Yugoslavia, before Thailand decided a war with Cambodia.
Of course Thailand is strong, but Thailand will not win the war again Cambodia.
The plus point, that we Khmer have a lot of Khmer descent still live under the Thai regime. Some of them very sure will fight for their freedom. The oversea's Khmer and halft Khmer descent (part of their parent are caucasians) born will support the Cambodian government.
To be a real Khmer has different feeling, than as a Thai second class citizen.
Youn and China ,the US will be with youn,Thai and Cambodia Us will be with Thai or play as the big brother roll but Youn and Thai are much heavier weight than the khmer,sound are not good to khmer yet because we are too slow to catch up with the world?
ONCE THE WAR BROKE OUT!!!
YUON's are packing fellas!!!
YUON's running businesses!!!
YUON's new Nam Banh, Nambodia!!!
Khuang Aphaiwong (May 17, 1902 - March 15, 1968; Thai ควง อภัยวงศ์) was the founder of the current Thai democratic party. Khuang happened to be the first Khmer descent to serve 3 terms as Thai prime misnister from 1945-48. If Khuang were alive today, he would be shocked to see the current Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva, under his democratic party, attacking Cambodia in the most brutal savage way against his Khmer heritage!
Khmer Surin
Abby must feel really strong now that he has the military behind him.
He was such a coward during the demonstration in May. He hide in a military barrack the whole time for fear of assassination.
Abby, the UDD have you marked. You too will have your day.

Thailand need a mental Reform; and drop off some of the big echo
It is not Hun Sen that is scared. It is Ahbisit that got scared because he promised his people that he will get Preah Vihear back to the Thai instead of realizing his mistakes he turn to be a liar that eventhough that he disposed Samak he still can't do anything for the Thai. Samak realized that the Temple and the surrounding areas are belong to the Cambodian.
Khmer Surin,
Hun Sen is being smart now because he told the UN ahead of time. I don't think Hun Sen is scared of Ahbisit.
11:59PM! What ah Hun Xen and ah Ahbisit are scared of!?
Motherfuckers never go to the front line! YOU and me may be killed befor those motherfuckers hurd the first shot!
Youn and China ,the US will be with youn,Thai and Cambodia Us will be with Thai or play as the big brother roll but Youn and Thai are much heavier weight than the khmer,sound are not good to khmer of ah Kwack yet because are kwack are too corrupt to catch up with the world?
6:08 PM
I don't like Hun Sen, but I know he is not scare. Not one bit.
Hun Sen had his share of war battles, and has the scar to prove it.
I don't think a guy like Hun Sen can be scared easily. He is using his head well throughout this conflict.
Abheehee of Thailand, on the other hand, is just a poster boy for the Bangkok elite. The only battle experience he had was in a textbook at Oxford. Despite well educated, Abheehee is only a mediocre politician, no spine, and love to threat and intimidate because the military is behind him.
The British love to claim Abheehee because he was educated in England. However, in light of Abheehee's political behaviors, he is an embarrassment to the respectable institution of Oxford.
Oversea Khmer.
Hun Sen should of have gone to the UN day one
Hun Sen has no credibility to protect Khmer sovereignty because he can only stand tough with Thailand while he is so quiet and fearful with Hanoi.
imagine without the UN body and its international law, these evil youn and siem would continue to steal from cambodia. the UN body and the international make them think twice before trying to steal from cambodia, i believe! cambodia will always use the UN body and the international law to beat youn and siem thugs!
Oversea Khmer
Hun Sen was a pagoda kid, had nothing, no money, no skill, no hope, even died, he lost nothing because he was nothing.
Now, it's completely different, he has a lot to lose, money, power, family, he is afraid of death to die..
1:29 AM
The way you are talking, you are not an oversea's Khmer.
I told you guys Hun Sen only good at Killer his own Kon Khmer. He too chicken to fight any country like Laos, Thailand or Vietnam. He going to called Thaskin for some help now. Kill all the CCP....Piece of Shit
1:29am is a damn scumbag siem!
I don't like Hun Sen, but I know he is not scare for cambodia futur or Cambodian lives. Not one bit.
Hun Sen had his share of war crime and killing out of battles, and has the scar to ly about it.
I don't think a guy like Hun Sen can be scared easily. He is using his hiding and bullshit well throughout this conflict.
Abheehee of Thailand, on the other hand, is just a poster boy for the Bangkok elite. The only battle experience he had was in a textbook at Oxford. Despite well educated, Abheehee is only a mediocre politician, no spine, and love to threat and intimidate because the strong experience military is behind him.
Abheehee love to claim he was educated in England. However, in light of Abheehee's political behaviors, he is have nothing to do with respectable institution of Oxford.

AbhiSHIT is the royal's dog. Every time the PAD/royal dogs pull his strings, the puppet once again starts beating his chest like a fucken gorrila.
ahbullshit should go back to oxford for re-education. i think it cheated at oxford when he got his college degree there. otherwise, oxford is now risk of being incompetent school for ahbullshit is a proof of that from oxford!

1:29 AM SOME STUPID IDIOT!
The way you are talking, you are not an oversea's Khmer.
1:40 AM MISUNDERSTOOD!
7:13am,
Good observation. I don't know who this 1:29 AM is, perhaps a Siem coming into this blog to get Cambodians to hate each other in critical time like this.
No time for Regime Change, Khmer need to United, all these event happened cause of Thai Greed.
we all can tell by the tone of their writing if they love khmer or if they are khmer or if they are siem thugs or youn thugs, etc... because if they incite khmer to fight each other at a time like this, they are definitely our enemies, the siem and the youn for sure. so, make sure we think critically and logically and analyze all writings to see if they are helpful to cambodia intented to break us up. remember this is an unsensored internet blog, so, don't take it personally as most everyone who came to visit this blog go under anonymity anyway. plus as a reminder, internet is never a good quote or citation to use too much on academic papers, etc..., as we are often being told by our college professors, etc... so with that in mind, don't feel personal about it here; instead look at it as is and try to analyze what everybody is saying. that's all!
Ye, do you know what "FUCK YOU"means? Idiot 12:25PM, you think ya smart, eat my shit, dummy
2:48pm, you must be Ahbullshit's relative. because you both love shit.
To all Khun Thais posting in this blog,
Nice try, but Cambodians are much smarter than you might have thought. It is time for your country to stop bullying Cambodia and start showing some gratitude for all the things you legally or illegally took from Cambodia.
You have enough problems of your own - your King is powerless and bed ridden, your people are divided like oil and water, the Muslim insurgents in the South is gaining more strength every day, your militray/generals are so currupted that they only care about their own promotions. They are so incompetent that they could not distinguish a hot air baloon from an airship, a empty plastic box from a bomb detector.
Your people are rotten with greed. The son of an ex-PM Chuan Leekpai, just graduated from a political science at the age of 22, got appointed to deputy spokeperson at a ministry. He has zero experience. Many of your students go to school to party and flirt instead of studying. They are not studying anything because their fathers/uncles will "get" them a high profile job in the government regardless of how stupid/incompetent they are.
Your Land of Smile is rapidly turning into the Land of Sorrow. The doomed day for you country is coming, and that's is the Karma for all the crimes and violences you did to Khmers, who by the way are your ancestors.
UN SHOULD HELP DRAW and PLANT THE CAMBODIA FRONTIERS AS PARIS AGREEMENt!!!!!
REFORM THE UNCIVILIZE ARMY AND OPPRESSION FORCES IN CAMBODIA THEN GIVE PEOPLE OF CAMBODIAN A FAIR DEMONCRACY TO START WITH!!!!!!!!!

6:41 AM
6:41! SCHOOL IN FREE COUNTRY TEACH STUDENT OF KNOWLEDGE NOT TURN STUDEN TO BECOME ANY THING LIKE THE COMMUNIST BRAIN WASHER!
Ahbulshit goes back to UK, Bhumipol goes back to US and the rest of Thai go back to Nanchao.
Viets and khmers are now "one", so bring it on Thai yellowish. The redshirts are also preparing to help us for internal and external support. This time you are going down, down and down. Well hear me now and you must take this seriously or otherwise pull yourself together in term of respect each other's boundary and it not worth it to fight with the victims of pol pot. if you do, you are the most wicked people on this planet earth. People in Europe tend to help each others especially the victims whereas Thai people want to further condemn the victims, so, where are your morality?. God is watching! do good rather then bad. goodness last forever and wickedness, only for a temporary. Aust
