A Thai legal team has been set up to fight the border case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in response to Cambodia's petition that the court interpret its judgement of 1962 on Preah Vihear temple to clarify the territorial boundary between Thailand and Cambodia, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Friday.
The Cambodian Foreign Ministry announced today that it has sought the ICJ's interpretation of its judgement on Preah Vihear temple, accusing Thailand of repeated aggression in attempts to claim Cambodian territory.
Mr Abhisit said Cambodia's move is not beyond expectations and a legal team has been set up to fight the case.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdi said Thailand is waiting for the ICJ to officially notify it of the Cambodian petition.
He said the application made by Cambodia to the ICJ is not unexpected, judging by Cambodia's acts of agression against Thailand during the past week.
Cambodia wanted to use the border clashes as a reason to bring the territorial issue to the ICJ, Mr Thani said.
"Thailand has been prepared for this. We have studied the issue and hired a team of lawyers to handle it.
"Thailand is of the opinion that resolving the conflict through bilateral talks is the best option, but Cambodia has turned to the ICJ."
This indicated that Cambodia does not attach much importance to talks under the Asean framework, Mr Thani said.
The spokesman said he expected the ICJ to officially notify Thailand of the Cambodian petition in one or two days.
After receiving the official notification from the ICJ, Thailand will thoroughly study Cambodia's request.
Mr Thani said that under normal procedure he would expected the ICJ to take about three weeks to decide whether to accept the petition for further proceedings.
If the case were accepted for consideration, the court may take one or two years to go through the related documents, Mr Thani said.

That is the right way to approach. Thailand with no wants to use its military might to get Cambodia into solving border with them, only to get nowhere with Thai bs.
The World Court must reward Thailand's bad behavior; in fact, they cause problems with all their weaker neighbors.
Thai is now very worried on going to court. They are now talking about declaring war with Cambodia. Either way it is a win win situation for Cambodia
I am 12:51. I am too anxious I skipped words. Here how it should read:
That is the right way to approach. Thailand, with no RESPECT to Cambodia, wants to use its military might to get Cambodia into solving border with them, only to get nowhere but Thai bs.
The World Court must NOT reward Thailand's bad behavior. In fact Cambodia is not alone, they fought with all their weaker neighbors for land. The have the food print of expansionism in their hands.

The international map has been in place and recognized by the world for decades. Thailand thinks it can make ICJ reverses its decision about the border ruled of 1962 verdict? What a dream of the so called "Thief" intension.
evil siem thugs will try, but we know that the icj will tell them that hey your statue of limitation has expired so what are siem thugs whining and rankling about since after almost 50 years later! icj will tell siem to respect the law because the statue of limitation is the law also, you know!
for your information, we have the statue of limitation for a reason, so people don't come back to abuse or disrespct the law when it passed that limit, ok! siem thugs need to understand and be educated about the meaning of the statue or statute of limitation, ok! get used to it, it the law, ok, evil siem thugs! stop your childish rankling over it, ok! law is law. we have law everywhere in society to govern unruly people like evil siem thugs, ok! there are reasons for having law, ok! think about it, ok!
siem don't understand the statue limitation law, etc! the cour tell tell them to get lost, watch!
