WASHINGTON — The United States renewed its call Monday for Thailand and Cambodia to resolve their border rift peacefully after the UN's highest court ordered the countries to pull troops from a disputed area.
"The United States has consistently called upon both sides to continue dialogue and exercise maximum restraint in order to peacefully resolve their disputes and strengthen regional stability," State Department spokeswoman Heide Bronke Fulton told AFP.
She voiced support for efforts by Indonesia, the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, to mediate between the two members of the bloc.
The Hague-based International Court of Justice asked both Thailand and Cambodia to withdraw military personnel immediately from a provisional demilitarized zone around the 900-year-old Khmer temple of Preah Vihear.
The area was the scene of clashes in February and again in April that left a total of 28 people dead and prompted 85,000 civilians to flee.

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, President Ms. Rattana Keo,
Rattana Keo, I your comment is too long. I am sorry I don't have time to read all your comments. But you are president of what, now?
This is a lost for Cambodia. Just think for a momemt. Let say a neighbor(thailand) comes into your house and steal your personal properties and you caught your robber neighbor(the thief(thailad)). Since you(Cambodia) are a law abiding citizen you decided to call the police(Asean) for help or take your neighbor(the thief(thailand) to court(ICJ). The police(Asean) or court(ICJ) tell you to work the problem out with your neighbor(the thief(thailand)).

Uncle SAM is telling Cambodian who is a victim to cooperate with the Siem criminals who want to steal from them!
This is a new concept! If this was me and I wouldn't cooperate with the criminal and I would kill the criminal or bring the criminal to justice and let the court system deal with the criminal!
