ICJ sets Preah Vihear hearings in April

Bangkok Post

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has scheduled public hearings for the Thai-Cambodian border dispute over Preah Vihear temple and its surrounding area in April 2013.

The hearings have been planned for April 15 to 19 next year in The Hague, Netherlands, according to an ICJ press release.

Both Thailand and Cambodia will be given three sessions each to present their oral arguments on the interpretation of the ICJ's 1962 verdict which awarded the possession of the ancient Khmer archaeological site to Cambodia. Thailand is still making claim to the ownership of the land the temple is situated on.


Cambodia will have two rounds on Monday April 15 while Thailand will get two rounds on Wednesday April 17. Cambodia will have the final round on Thursday April 18 and Thailand on Friday April 19.

The press release gave the history of this case -- that on April 28, 2011, Cambodia submitted to the Court a request for interpretation of the judgment rendered by the Court on June 15, 1962 in the case concerning the Temple of Preah Vihear (Cambodia v. Thailand).

The issue flared up again after the temple was listed as one of Unesco's World Heritage sites in 2008, fuelling nationalist sentiment on both sides of the border.

Thai and Cambodian militaries have engaged each others in a series of border clashes which resulted in causalities.

According to Phnom Penh Post, Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said that his government had already prepared documents for the hearings.

KI media deleted commemts that related to 1997 granade attack.

Shame!

It is meaning no justice for any supporters that died in serving Sam Rainsy political party at all.

Sam Rainsy will never find justice for his supporters at America and international court at all but in fact he use these as his passport for negotiate with Hun Sen after 15 years.

The supporters Sam Rainsy party today must accept that if you die n serving Sam Rainsy party, Sam Rainsy will not care to find justice for you at America and international courts and you die for nothing as 1997 grenade attack victims.

Current affair,

Mr Sam Rainsy! Why don't you sue Hun Sen publicly with CNN, BBC, ABC, and other world famous media as publicly witness?

Is it hard for you to do? Are you keep trying negotiate with Hun Sen for your opportunity again and again?

To us as members of Sam Rainsy party can see clearly that Ki media = Hun Sen media censorship,

the life of sam rainsy supporters are just creat passport for sam rainsy keep negotiate with Hun Sen for his opportunuties, no real justice after 15 years of serving sam rainsy party and the victims died for bullshit because of sam rainsy don't want to find real justice for them at America and international courts.

No justice! they use our death as their passport for negotiate with Hun Sen after 15 years. That is Sam Rainsy policies, no justice for his supporters but he try negotiate with Hun Sen all the times for his opportunities.

If we ask about justice for his supporters they accused us as youn dog. Cambodian people must think twice before you follow the same foot step as us.
