Koichiro Matsuura, the special envoy on the Preah Vihear Temple for the UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), will travel to Bangkok and Phnom Penh between Feb. 25 and March 1 to talk on the temple's protection, the UN cultural arm said on Tuesday.

Matsuura, a former director-general of UNESCO (1999-2009), will discuss the safeguarding of the World Heritage site with the Thai and Cambodian prime ministers and seek ways to mitigate tension over the sovereignty of the temple, according to a statement issued by the Paris-based organization.

Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO, named Koichiro Matsuura on Feb. 11 as the special envoy to mediate the issue of Preah Vihear.

Preah Vihear Temple was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2008 but sparked disputes between Thailand and Cambodia, both of which claim sovereignty over the 11th century temple.

UN does not support communist dictators- countries like Vietnam and Iraq where human rights are not respected. Vietnam is a communist country and continue to be...Vietnam breaks international laws on border sovereignty with all its neighbors.

Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don’t Cambodia goverment transparencies explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?

Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?

Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! Treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting Khmer nation?

Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make Cambodian people suffer everyday as Cambodian people know already.

Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol (Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapoor with heap of great natural resources) in education system in Cambodia.

Look at Hun Sen families, relatives; friends are billionaires, millionaires where do they get the money from if we all just get out of war with empty hands? Hun Sen always say in his speech Cambodia just get up from war, just get up from Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% innocent Cambodian people are so poor struggling with living every day.

Dear Rattana Keo,

I support you to be Cambodia's Prime Minister and then i can see what you do for the national interests.

However, what i can judge you now is that you are not smart girl as you mentioned. You know little, but think you know much. You have never study international laws, international relations and know real issues of the national and the world.

Sorry, I don't want to disencourage you. In contras, I support you and also understand your national sentiment. But should study and collect more data for your reference.

For good purpose!

If Ms Rattana Keo becomes Cambodia's Prime Ministor she will sell Angkor Wat for the price of $1.5 billions to Thailand for sure. So she hire big muscles American men to sleep with her every night.

Let the UNESCO of UN do their work and talk on the Temple's protection.
The UNESCO should protect the PREAH VIHEAR TEMPLE before heavy damaging.
The UNESCO should know their responsibility;why did they come to solve problems after the damage?
How should someone call this world high organization?

KHmerization hates people who talk about Kos Trol, sea and lands about 10 000km2 to Vietnam. Khmerization try to silence Ms. Rattana Keo about Kos TRol, sea and land 10 000km2. Khmerization tries to play blame game to Ms. Rattana Keo. Khmerization is killing every Cambodian who talks about Kos Trol. Ms. Rattana Keo keeps talking about Kos Trol, sea and lands over 10 000km2 to Vietnam because No Khmer men dare to speak out about this out loud. They are get into politic and news to serve their own interest in money in every generation of Khmer. Khmerization tries to silence one defend less woman that remind Khmers about Kos Trol, sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam injustice to all Cambodian people. Shame on khmerization News! Khmerization only serves their interest in political gain.
All real patriot Khmers die for nothing to serve the optician in every generation. Politian get rich and Khmer people keep suffer every day.
All Cambodian readers beware, I used to be a very big fan that inspired by KI and Khmerization but today I can see their real face and political gain purpose. Beware all Cambodian people! Politian gets rich but Khmer people like you and me are getting suffered every day.
