PARIS, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has named its former director- general Koichiro Matsuura as special envoy to address the issue of Preah Vihear, the Paris-based UN cultural branch announced on Friday.
Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO has informed Cambodia and Thailand about the mission of Matsuura.
Matsuura will "visit Bangkok and Phnom Penh to discuss how the World Heritage site can be safeguarded" and "examine with both sides how to lessen tension and promote dialogue around the preservation of the Temple," according to a statement issued by UNESCO.
Bokova expressed concerns over the protection of the Preah Vihear Temple, which was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2008 but sparked clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, both claiming sovereignty over the antique temple.
Recent military confrontations on the border between the two states have caused deaths and injuries, as well as damages to the temple.
UNESCO called on Cambodia and Thailand to respect the World Heritage Convention of 1972, as both are signatories to the convention.

Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,
Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?

What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?
If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?
If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?
If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why
Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?
Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?

PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.
CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!
Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.

some light white yellow skin cambodians always say they are chinese but when they go to real chinese community the real chinese are prejudice and discriminate to them beacsue the real chinese from china think that chinese cambodians are real traitor of Khmer, dark skin khmer must stand up for our nation!
Chinese cambodians always look down on real dark skin khmer and they always say dark skin khmer are stupid and poor. They abuse dark skin khmer for too long!
When the country in war they are hiding their children but after war they like to take advantage over dark skin khmer. That isn't fair. Only dark skin khmer are at the frontline protect khmer nation, chinese cambodians like to hide and abuse dark skin khmer after the war.
There are no juctice have been given to cambodians that Hun Sen murdered at 1997 and so on. Where are UN and Human Right Groups?
Kos Trol, seas and alot of land have been given to Vietnam and Thail by Hun sen. Where is justice for Cambodians?

I dont care what u said but many people worried about dispute. I think u puppet dog Thai or sth else. U are not hurt about invaded Thai on Cambodia. What the hell u are? u are khmer blood or not?
Chinese cambodians try so hard to be chinese but the real chinese from Hong Kong and china don't reconized them at all. That is real shame! They can't even mix in real chinese community at China Town. They go to Hong Kong \, Hongy people can't even understand their chinese and they racist to chinese cambodian very badly.
At frontline there is no china cambodian born at all. They are real traitor! Dark skin khmer will fight to death to defence Khmer Nation!
Thanks you but if you are real chinese why don't you live at China big super power country? Why Cambodia??? Why? Does China reconized you as chinese citizenship and protect you? You eat Cambodians rice and you grow fat than you thanks China and abuse dark skin khmer as stupid.
please take a closer look at the 1907 map to solve the conflict! compare the 1907 map and the siem's unilateral or illegal map and see why cambodia lost more lands, etc! and please tell siem to stop dreaming of stealing cambodia's preah vihear temple. thank you, unesco for upholding the law. god bless unesco and cambodia.
