As Thai - Cambodia Fighting Escalates, UN & Its Council Unresponsive, Repetition?

UN's Ban & Hun Sen, human rights forgotten
By Matthew Russell Lee
Inner City Press

UNITED NATIONS, February 6 -- As fighting escalates between Thailand and Cambodia, the UN and its Security Council presidency did not answer questions on the matter, even after Cambodia's prime minister Hun Sen wrote to demand an urgent meeting of the Council.

Inner City Press, which had asked Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's spokesmen about the dispute starting February 4, asked the top two listed contacts at the UN Mission of Brazil, this month's Council president, to confirm the receipt and circulation to members of Cambodia's requests. More than 12 hours later, there was no response. Nor to detailed questions to Ban's two two spokesmen.

While one would expect the UN to be more responsive, perhaps this disinterest is related to the last time this border and temple dispute came to the Council, in 2008. Then, with fellow ASEAN member Viet Nam holding the Council presidency, pressure was brought to bear to keep the dispute at the national and regional level.

Finally, Viet Nam's Permanent Representative told Inner City Press, “Letter withdrawn.... problem disappear.” Will that happen this time?


Ban's spokesman on the morning of February 6 were asked this:
Does Ban Ki-moon agree that this UN affiliated process has increased tension and should be suspended? [Thai PM] “Abhisit said Thailand was attacked first so it had to respond. The country also viewed the areas around the Preah Vihear Temple as "very sensitive", therefore nothing should be done to increase the tensions between the countries. 'That means the World Heritage registration procedures [with regard to areas surrounding the ancient Hindu temple] should now be suspended. We have been warning the World Heritage Committee for quite some time,' Abhisit said.”
Twelve hours later, there was no response. Watch this site.

=The problem disappear then reappear! Disappear and reappear!
Hun Sen is incapable of doing the right thing for his nation and people! His defeat at the hand of Siem thugs will bring a death sentence to his life and his entire family for being a traitor!

Filing a complaint to the UN is the right thing! If the UN does not care, then it is the UN mistake if Thailand and Cambodia go to a major war.

No matter how much and what it costs, Cambodia will not invade Thailand, but reserve the rights of self-defense.

If Cambodia pushed hard to the UNSC since the first time. There might not be blood and temple damage as we have seen.

What can Hun Sen do Mr. strong man?
In my survey in this blog the first fight three year ago Cambodian supported Hun Sen and our troups100%
now it find only 2% supporting Hun Sen.Mr.Hun you must giving away half to Thai other why you lose them all.
You are wrong and wrong you have less support from your own ,now ask your master for help?
And Thai will bring Asian in also.
Big messes because your ignorant suborn,you and your families pay the price?
God Bless Poor Cambodian brothers sisters!

This is one of the best chance to finish the prolong dispute once for all.
If the letter to UNSC is withdrawn at this time, Cambodia will lose more credit. I doubt the next letter would be a waste. Thai has played this card from the start. Thai know how to take advantage of World communities’ loophole. The longer the border fighting the better the disputed zone is marked. It happened to Israel and Palestine, India and Pakistan. After all, UN and UNSC are unable to draw the borderline for those countries or stop them from fighting. I wish I am wrong and hope it will not happen to Cambodia.
