UNESCO’s director-general has expressed “disappointment” after three days of talks between Cambodia and Thailand on the protection of Preah Vihear temple ended in no result, while an international court is set to hear related arguments in The Hague today.
In a statement issued on Friday, UNESCO said its director-general, Irina Bokova, had “voiced her disappointment at the fact that no agreement was reached” on “concrete steps” to preserve the temple ahead of an upcoming World Heritage Committee session slated for June 19-29.
“I appeal to both countries to pursue efforts towards achieving a common agreement before the World Heritage Committee session in June in a spirit of cooperation and constructive dialogue,” Bokova said.
Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, who headed the Cambodian delegation to the Paris talks, and his Thai counterpart Suwit Khunkitti, Bangkok’s Minister of Environment, both attempted to put a positive spin on the meeting.
“There was no actual result, but it was fruitful preparation for the upcoming meeting at which UNESCO will examine the state of conservation [at Preah Vihear],” Sok An told reporters at Pochentong airport upon his return yesterday.
Sok An said he had presented evidence of damage to the 11th-century temple and had rejected a request by Thailand to withdraw Cambodia’s proposed management plan for the World Heritage site.
“We saw that all the requests by Thailand [to UNESCO] were not successful,” he claimed. “Thailand seems to be defeated from the meeting.”
Suwit, however, said Cambodia and Thailand would meet bilaterally to consider the management plan ahead of next month’s World Heritage Committee meeting, the Bangkok Post reported yesterday. Suwit said consideration of the management plan for the temple should be postponed until the border is fully demarcated by the countries’ bilateral Joint Border Committee.
In related news, Foreign Minister Hor Namhong left on Friday to attend hearings on the border dispute at the International Court of Justice scheduled for today and tomorrow, ministry spokesman Koy Kuong said yesterday. The ICJ ruled in 1962 that Preah Vihear temple belongs to Cambodia. Earlier this month, Cambodia asked the ICJ to reinterpret this judgment to bear on the surrounding territory, and in the interim, to order all Thai troops to withdraw from “those parts of Cambodian territory situated in the area” of the temple.
Deadly clashes that killed at least 10 people broke out between the two sides in February near Preah Vihear. Clashes broke out again along the border near Oddar Meanchey province last month, killing at least 18.
Although tensions in the area have largely eased, a Thai soldier was arrested in Oddar Meanchey province on Thursday and accused of spying on Cambodian artillery positions along with an alleged Cambodian accomplice, a military intelligence official yesterday.
Chea Samrach, an official at the Banteay Ampil district intelligence unit, said he had apprehended the two men on Thursday after they had tried to escape by motorbike, adding that the Thai suspect had been identified as a military official.
An Oddar Meanchey police official who declined to be named said the suspects had been sent to the provincial military office, though he refused to provide any further details.

The story of Preah Vihear temple disputed is no different then that of King Solomon and the baby story.
King Solomon wants to split the baby between two mothers to find the real mother! Of course most real mothers would never agree to split or kill their own baby! The real mother will show unconditional love and will not allow any harm to the baby and willing to give up everything for the sake of the baby!
As for Preah Vihear temple both Cambodia and Thailand claimed as their temple and both countries are willing to do anything to have the temple under their sovereignty.
But one thing is crystal clear is that Thailand is willing to destroy the Preah Vihear temple and there is evidence of Thailand shooting at least 400 artillery shells at the temple. If Thailand care so much about the Preah Vihear temple and why would Thailand want to destroy the temple in the first place? This is to show that Thailand is not a true guardian of the Preah Vihear temple!
As for Cambodia and Cambodian leadership have taken all necessary steps within their power to protect Preah Vihear temple and willing to accepting USNC recommendation and ASEAN leadership to solve the Preah Vihear temple issue! Cambodia is the true guardian of Preah Vihear temple!

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30 000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30 000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30 000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
This guy is Vietnamese 100%
