Cambodia seeks World Court clarification

Cambodia said yesterday it has asked the World Court to clarify a 1962 ruling about an ancient temple on its disputed border with Thailand as clashes between the neighbours entered an eighth day.

The request ''for the interpretation of the court's judgment … concerning the temple of Preah Vihear'' was prompted by ''Thailand's repeated armed aggression to exert its claims to Cambodian territory'', the Foreign Ministry said.

A clarification by the court was of ''the utmost necessity … in order to peacefully and definitely settle the boundary problem between the two countries in the area'', it said.

One Thai soldier was killed in fresh fighting on the border that shattered the truce, Thailand's army said yesterday. Sporadic fighting erupted just hours after a deal was announced and continued early yesterday, the north-eastern army region spokesman, Colonel Prawit Hookaew, said.

The clashes are centred on two temple complexes about 150 kilometres west of Preah Vihear.

Both countries have blamed each other for sparking the violence.

The International Court of Justice in the Hague ruled more than four decades ago that the 11th-century Preah Vihear belonged to Cambodia, but both countries claim ownership of a 4.6-square-kilometre surrounding area.

The temple - the most celebrated example of Khmer architecture outside Cambodia's Angkor - has been the focus of strained relations between the neighbours since it was granted UN World Heritage status in 2008.

Thais would like to talk to Hun Sen but Hun Sen didnot want to talk. He simply wants the International Unit to interfere. He gives out Cambodian's soil to Vietnam and then wants 4.6 square kilometre from Thailand. He wants to appoint his son, fucking Hun Manet to replace Tia Banh. He fears that Tia Banh will stage a coup against him. So he asks his son to break out the war with Thailand. Cambodians started first. Hun Ma Net started first. All Cambodians should be united. Kill Hun Sen and ask Sam Rainsy to come back. It is only then that the war will be stopped. Hun Sen has planned to appoint his sun to succeed him...
Hun Sen did a lot of corruptions. He stole the donation money given to Cambodian people. He evacuated people from their own land illegitimately. He has given many pieces of land of Cambodia to Vietnam...etc. All these make him deserve to get caught and sentenced to death. You Cambodians are coward to fight Hun Sen!!!
