Cambodia asks international court to intervene in border dispute

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) says Cambodia has filed an application over a border dispute with Thailand.

It's asked the court to order the Thai military to withdraw from the area.

The fighting between Thailand and Cambodia has become Southeast-Asia's bloodiest border dispute in years.

The latest outburst caused several deaths and forced more than 50,000 people on both sides of the border to seek safety in evacuation centres.

The ICJ, based in the Hague, Netherlands, ruled on the dispute nearly 50 years ago, in 1962.

It awarded the Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia, but both countries lay claim to a patch of land around it.

Mr. VIrak Ou

you should packed up and come back to the US. You and Sieng Theary stop lying to yourselves and Cambodian people that there is freedom and democracy in Cambodia. People have eyes and ears! It's better to tell them that you're trying to promote yourself - you CPP spy! we know that you and your boss Kem Sokha are working for Hun Sen! You funnel the money from your NGOs to the HRP Party.

Better working for someone, than nothing. In Cambodia the life of our Khmer people are hard and without hardworking, you will not longer survive.
Go back to the US, you mean we should live on well fare or just live day by day and spending time by kick off on the air.
