The International Court of Justice in the Hague on Monday ordered troops from both Thailand and Cambodia to immediately withdraw from disputed areas around the World Heritage-listed Preah Vihear temple.

But so far no one has moved.

Thailand's outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says the decision on whether and when to comply with the ruling will rest with the next government.

But he has ordered foreign affairs and defence officials to set a direction for negotiations to take place.
