The International Court of Justice will deliver its verdict on the scope and meaning of its 1962 ruling on the disputed Preah Vihear temple on Monday.

That ruling gave the ancient temple to Cambodia but failed to clarify ownership of the land surrounding it, which has been at the heart of the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia.

Dozen of lives on both sides of the border have been lost in recent months following a flare up of the conflict.

Presenter: Bill Bainbridge
Speaker: Nicholas Farelly, Thai affairs specialist from the Australian National University
