Border ‘not within jurisdiction’ of ICJ
Thailand presents case on temple land today
30/05/2011
Bangkok Post
Thailand will tell the International Court of Justice today that the court has no jurisdiction to judge the borderline of countries in dispute such as itself and Cambodia.
This is a key part of the country’s response to a request filed by Cambodia concerning the fate of land surrounding Preah Vihear temple on the border.
It will deliver the message at the United Nations’ highest court in the Netherlands in a two-day hearing starting today.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said yesterday Thailand was ready to fight the case.
“The point is that it’s unreasonable that the ICJ should grant an injunction as requested by Cambodia when Thailand had abided by the court’s ruling [on Preah Vihear ownership] issued in 1962,” he said.
In 1962, the court ruled that Preah Vihear temple is situated in Cambodia. Thailand complied with the ruling but argued that the verdict covered only the sandstone ruins while the area around it belonged to Thailand. Cambodia recently asked the ICJ to interpret its 1962 judgement to establish if the land in the temple’s vicinity also belonged to it.
It also asked the court to order an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Thai troops from the land surrounding the temple and to ban Thai military activity in the area.

The election season is not here yet, but politicians are attacking one another little by little already in order to seek popularity.
On Sunday 29 May, a tape recorded showing the conversation between Kem Sokha, president of the HRP, and Hun Xen was distributed to several news media. The tape provided the conservation between Kem Sokha and Hun Sen that took place in 2007. Kem Sokha said that the tape is real but that he is not a puppet of the CPP.
He claimed that the ruling party is scared about losing its support to the HRP, that’s why it was releasing these issues. He said that these problems do not bring any concerns to him: “After destroying Funcinpec, they destroyed the Sam Rainsy Party, now they want to destroy the HRP also, so this is their timing only. Yesterday, they called me over the phone to tell me that they will do something, that is why they threatened me.”
Kem Sokha issued the comments above after a secret tape was posted by the Deum Ampil News revealing the entire length of the conservation between him and Hun Xen. The tape also showed the HRP’s nakedness, and it also shows that the HRP is a party formed by Hun Xen to destroy the SRP.
The conversation shows that Hun Xen praised the victory of the HRP through his financial support, as well Hun Xen’s support by providing a venue for the HRP’s congress at the Olympic stadium. Hun Xen also provided additional ideas to Kem Sokha so that the latter will use people from the SRP to work with him, etc…
Kem Sokha claimed that he did reply as shown on the tape because he wanted to form the HRP so that he can hold a large party congress that can accommodate between 20 to 30,000 people, but he did not promise to serve the CPP at all.
CPP MP Cheam Yeap denied that the CPP was not involved with the HRP. He claimed that the tape is not real: “I tell you, right now, the production can be imitated by computer due to modern technology.”
