Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said Thursday that he was very satisfied with Thai lawyer team and agent presenting before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding Cambodia's request for interpretation of 1962 ruling and provisional measure.
"We have been preparing ourselves for almost two years in a very thorough manner and every move, every argument has been argued over among the Thai side and we were able, I think in short, to explain, to rebuttal all the points raised by the Cambodian side with substance rational and with evidences.
"In that sense, I am satisfied, yes, definitely I am very satisfied," said the foreign minister who just returned from Hague.
He also reaffirmed that he was confident in the judges as well as the Court that the agency would hand down an impartial verdict.
"Their reputation has to do much with their intelligence, knowledge and rationality," Kasit noted.
Thai and Cambodian delegates had spent two days from May 30 to 31 in Hague, Netherlands to elaborate at the World Court as Phnom Penh submitted a petition for interpretation of the judgment rendered by the Court on June 15, 1962 in the case concerning the ancient temple of Preah Vihear on April 28, 2011.
The petition was accompanied by an urgent request for the indication of provisional measures in which Cambodia demanded Thailand to immediately and unconditionally withdraw troops from area surrounding the ruins.
According to the foreign minister, the Court's decision on provisional measure which includes immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Thai troops from the disputed area is likely to be delivered by the end of June or early July.
He said a judge from Brazil asked additional information on affected people along the border and so both countries were supposed to submit original reports by June 7 in order that each country could make comments on those reports and return them to the Court by June 14.
Although the Court decided in 1962 to award the Hindu temple to Cambodia, both countries have laid claims over the 4.6 square- kilometer plot of land surrounding.
Border tension flared up as Phnom Penh inscribed the ancient temple on the World Heritage List in 2008, triggering military build-up and sporadic clashes. In the latest border-fighting during April 22 to May 3, some score of soldiers were killed and about 100,000 residents on both sides of border were forced to evacuate.

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,
So the money you spent on those 3 foreign lawyers is satified? Imagin this! by remove all your troop out of Khmer land, let us do whatever we want to do with our temple and land, and then we allow you to come visite Preah Vihear, and then open all business trading both way equally access to market for both country, respect free and fair election. Don't you thing that would be satify to all? Everybody make money, everybody can visite places as both citizen desire, everybody happy and live a quality livess. We are not live here for long. We all are going to die just nature intend for. Look all these old yellow shirt-how long you are going to live? I mean, some of you will not live longer than another 30 years! Could alot less than that, but, I stretch it. And the King, he is 80 plus and can be anytime now. Reflect and enjoy your golden year. You do not know what will happen, despite all belief and religion, the fact is nobody know, so let us Khmer live in peace, and we all enjoy this lives in a short period of this earth.
why siem thugs are shameless for violation and stealing from cambodia! they bully and threaten cambodia by boasting their military and economic at cambodia, if that's not bullying, then siem must be insane and arrogant, you know!
the UN security council should flex its muscle with siem thugs, really! that's how we khmer feel, you know!
the court do not like anybody who violated the law, whether it's the statute of limitations, the international treaty of 1907, its preah vihear ruling in 1962, etc, etc! siem thugs did show contempt of court by their rankling, their recent fighting with cambodia, their violation of all of the above, really!
