[ICJ] Court will consider border row in June

The International Court of Justice will consider border dispute issues between Thailand and Cambodia in June, says Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul.

Mr Surapong said yesterday the Thai legal team in the Hague had told him they had submitted a request seeking an interpretation by the court on the border row.

Cambodia will submit its request in March next year, after which the ICJ is expected to hear the case in June.

In the meantime, Defence Minister Yutthasak Sasiprapa will attend the Thai-Cambodia General Border Committee meeting on Dec 21 in Phnom Penh.

If any agreements are reached at the GBC meeting, they will be proposed to the cabinet for consideration and then submitted for parliamentary ratification as required by Section 190 of the constitution, Mr Surapong said.

Section 190 stipulates that any international treaties and agreements must be approved by parliament first.


Defence Ministry spokesman Thanathip Sawangsaeng said it has been agreed that Cambodia will host the eighth GBC meeting in Phnom Penh on Dec 21. The meeting will discuss measures to be implemented in compliance with an ICJ injunction.

Topics to be discussed include redeployment of troops from both sides in the disputed area, Indonesian observers, and border checkpoints.

The meeting will also discuss plans to regulate Keo Sikha Kiri Savara pagoda and communities and markets surrounding Preah Vihear temple and Unesco officials' access to the temple areas.

Col Thanathip said the five issues will not be subject to requirements under Section 190 of the constitution because the Council of State, the government's legal arm, has ruled the five measures are intended to observe the temporary injunction by the ICJ, a commitment for Thailand and Cambodia to follow.

The Council of State has ruled that the measures are not regarded as international treaties under Section 190 and the injunction does not affect the country's sovereignty or territorial integrity and the order is only temporary, Col Thanathip said.

But when formal agreements are concluded at the GBC meeting, they must be approved by parliament first as required by Section 190, Col Thanathip added.

Meanwhile, Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdee said Cambodia's interior ministry has allowed a Thai medical team to travel to Cambodia to examine the health of yellow shirt activist Veera Somkwamkid.

He is in a Phnom Penh jail for illegal entry and espionage, as he is reportedly suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

Veera was hospitalised after his condition worsened.

The medical team is expected to fly to Cambodia next week to inspect him, Mr Thani said.

New Ambassador to Viet-Cambodia from the U.S.?

Let me tell you something:

Even with the Ambassador from Heaven to Cambodia, dumb Khmer is helpless. We, Viet, are already controlling Viet-Cambodia from top to bottom, from the Sanate to the farm land...

Hun Sen will be irrelevant in the very near future and there will be more and brighter Viet-Khmer/Khmer-Viet smarter ones to lead Viet-Cambodia...

Viet is everywhere in Viet-Cambodia from farmer to technician, from nurse to doctor, from firefighter to engineer, from rubber plantation owner/worker to Hun Sen's political advisor and bodyguards including Angkor Wat's owner...You all name it and Viet is there...Khmer doesn't do squat besides getting addicted to Viet's ass in Viet-Cambodia, even foreigners are enjoying it nicely...

Once again, whether or not all you dumb Khmer surrender yourselves to Viet, Khmer is now deep-rooted Viet, and irreversibly so already.

Hun Sen is just a dumb Viet-Khmer that can be disposed of at anytime at just a blink of an eye!

Challenge me if all of you dumb Khmer can. We have millions of us (legally the majority thanks to that dumb Hun Sen) that will vote for Viet-Khmer candidate legally and democratically forever, even the outside world would support and agree...

How Sam Raingsy and/or any of your worthless so-called dumb heroe(s) including the stupid dumb king Sihanouk of yours that just wants to reign plan to win Cambodia back? The Federation of Indochina under Viet's rule and control is here to stay on this planet earth for real. How do all of you dumb Khmer think or plan to de-veitnamize it???

KRT is just a show to entertain the world. We, Viet, are that good and smart.

Can Khmer put up the second Killing fields to get rid of millions of legal Viet-Khmer citizen now like we, Viet, did?

Okay you dumb Khmer - put it up or shut up while we, Viet, are domesticating you for the bright future of the Federation of Indochina!

It's all too late for you dumb Khmer already!!!

Ms. Soap

P.s Think about how all of our Viet-Khmer/Khmer-Viet offsprings/Half-breeds would look beautifully and be smart like in our Federation of Indochina???

តើខ្មែរអាចសំឡាប់ប្រជាជន យួន ខ្មែរ រាប់លាន
អ្នកបានដូចដែល វៀត ធ្វើនោះទេ?

ស្ដាប់ឮទេខ្មែរ ល្ងង់ខ្លៅ???

Once again, can Khmer put up the second Killing Field to get rid of millions of legal Viet-Khmer citizen now like we, Viet, did?

Eest-ce que vous m'entendez les ignorants Khmers?

Juste Pour me répéter:

Peut Khmer créer un deuxième «Killing Field» pour se débarasser des millions de Viet-Khmer qui sont maintenant les habitants légaux du Viet-Cambodge comme nous, les Viets, avions fait?

KI-Media is yesterday news and ought to shut down for good or better yet, come kiss our Viet's ass now!!!
