Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has voiced his strong support for Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet’s plan to bring border issues with Thailand to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
“A little earlier, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet confirmed that Cambodia will bring the issue concerning the Emerald Triangle area (Mom Bei), Ta Moan Thom Temple, Ta Moan Toch Temple, and Ta Krabey Temple, to the International Court of Justice (ICJ),” he wrote on a social media post tonight.
The Senate President said he fully supports this move, explaining that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of 2000 has proven ineffective in clarifying the matter, resulting in frequent accusations and multiple armed conflicts. If the Thai side is truly sincere in resolving the issue, they should jointly agree to bring the case before the court without requiring Cambodia to file a complaint.
“We await Thailand’s stance on this matter—will they dare, or not? While awaiting a resolution, all armed forces must exercise restraint, but also remain fully prepared to respond to any form of aggression,” underlined Samdech Techo Hun Sen.
