The UN's highest court is to have public hearings later this month after Cambodia requested an order against Thailand to withdraw its troops from a disputed border area, the court said Thursday.
Locked in a bitter quarrel with Thailand over an patch of land around the ancient Preah Vihear temple, Cambodia late last month filed the urgent request before the International Court of Justice, based in The Hague.
"The International Court of Justice will hold public hearings in the case," the ICJ said in a statement adding the hearings "will be devoted to the request for the indication of provisional measures filed by Cambodia."
"This means the hearing will focus specifically on Cambodia's urgent request for an order for Thai troop withdrawal," a source close to the court told AFP.
The hearings on May 30 and 31, will be in the form of oral submissions from both countries.
The UN court ruled in 1962 the 11th-century Khmer temple belonged to Cambodia, but both Phnom Penh and Bangkok claim ownership of the 4.6-square-kilometre (1.8-square-mile) surrounding area.
Cambodia last month asked the ICJ to explain that ruling, with the ICJ saying it would rule on a clarification at a later stage.
At least 18 people have been killed and 85,000 have been temporarily displaced in weeks of clashes over the ownership of the small patch of land around the temple.

News coming from AFP and Xinhua are worth the read. All Thai medias such as Bangkok Post and The Nation have no credible sources at all. The west tends to discredit these two Thai media. They are very bias against Cambodia.
Good to see 11th-century "Khmer temple" for a change... instead of the usual Bang-Cock Post "Hindu temple"...
And of course, this "Khmer temple" belongs to Cambodia not Thailand...as well as the surrounding land which will be clarified on May 31.
Cambodian people are ready for the verdict???. MORE LIKELY the ICJ will rule the portion of 4.6 Km2 belong to Thailand. It means that sharing is the solution.
The ICJ will interpret based on factual evidence of treaty maps Annex I and II as presented in 1962ruling. The 4.6sq is concocted and maniputed by Thailand as a disputed area 1 week after Cambodia's Preah Vihear Temple became the Wold Heritage Site. There is no such thing as 4.6sq. The area clearly belong to Cambodia. Thai occupiers must withdraw their troops unconditionally.
To Mr. 11:45 pm:
In your dream...the verdict was final 49 years ago as clear as black and white...only the Thais misunderstood the verdict! The land and temple belong its rightful owner which are the Khmers!!!!
