UN Security Council has agreed to meet on Feb 14 to solve the border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, Inter City Press reported.

The council reached the conclusion on late Tuesday, the Press; a non-governmental organization said.

To make clear that the UN is deferring to the regional group, Indonesia, as chair of this year's Asean, will be invited to the meeting. The country will be represented by Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa.

The meeting seemed to respond to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's request for the UN to intervene in the dispute while Thai PM Abhisit Vejjajiva insisted that the dispute should be solved on bilateral basis.


Meanwhile Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told the Press on Tuesday that he had spoken with the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia. Some wonder why Ban isn't mediating, or even asked to mediate, under UN Charter Article 99.

In Bangkok, Chavanond Indharakomalsut, secretary to the foreign minister that FM Kasit Piromya is scheduled to travel to the UN to explain the Thai positions to the UN chief next week.

One of the positions is that Thailand wanted the problems be solved bilaterally and did not want to see a third party step in.

What is wrong with a third party involved in the negotiation?


What do you have to hide, Thailand?

Since bilateral negotiation has no result, it's better to let the third party in.

Seem Thailand look own on their neighbor country Cambodia. They fight Cambodia whenever they cannot find the solution for PAD.

It is the best way that Cambodia choose UNSC to solve the problem with Thailand. It is not a normal border problem as Indonesian foreign minister said. It is the act of violation of ICJ verdict in 1962.

Abbhishit and PAD Thais, the two thieves, are now in trouble. They did not want the UN nor a third party to get involved with the Thai -Khmer border conflict. They want to keep bullying a smaller Cambodia as they did for centuries before the French came. This time Thailand will be taught a lesson that in the 21 st century you cannot steal Khmer land and walk away with it. We thank Russia at the UN Security Council for supporting Cambodia complaint.

I have suggested to Cambodia government to bring the case to international court since the first escalation on 2008, before the situation getting worse. Actually, I am right about my opinion.

You want the power, why you ask Thai to do the job for you. You know well, where Mr. Hun Sen lives.

Thailand cannot resolve the inter- problem with Yellow shirt, they turn their head to make trouble with Cambodia.

Abhisit is dog in the dustbin from South today he does what Thai king but next he wiilll him in return. That is the ungrateful dog in Thailand.

The world not tie with that country.

I would like express deep thank to those countries who help Cambodia.
