Politics Foreign Minister: Cambodia’s Move to Seek ICJ Ruling Within Its Rights, Will Not Impact JBC

Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa has confirmed that Cambodia’s request for parliamentary approval to refer a border dispute with Thailand to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is within its rights and will not affect ongoing discussions under the bilateral Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) mechanism. Speaking during his official visit to Paris for the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) Ministerial Council Meeting, Mr Maris stressed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is closely monitoring developments along the Thai-Cambodian border. He revealed that he has instructed the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry to convene a meeting of relevant departments to consolidate legal evidence, including photographic documentation, in preparation for negotiations. “The most important objective is to resolve the issue peacefully. We must avoid escalating the conflict and instead pursue a diplomatic strategy that aligns all our efforts in a unified direction,” Mr Maris said. He reiterated Thailand’s commitment to peaceful dialogue, particularly with a neighbouring country with which it shares deep historical ties. “Diplomacy must prevail, not force,” he added, outlining it as a key policy directive for Thai diplomats. The minister further emphasised the significance of the JBC as a mechanism for reducing tensions and addressing boundary issues. While Cambodia is currently designated to host the next JBC meeting, Mr Maris stated that Thailand is ready to host if Phnom Penh is not prepared. “In the interest of de-escalating tensions and finding a way forward on boundary demarcation, we consider the JBC a crucial tool. We are urging Cambodia to convene the meeting as soon as possible,” he noted. In response to recent incidents, Thailand has lodged an official protest with Cambodia, affirming its actions adhere strictly to international legal standards and uphold Thai sovereignty and territorial integrity. Mr Maris also announced that a high-level meeting will be held on 5 June upon his return to Thailand to finalise the nation’s stance. “I am assessing the situation constantly and remain in regular online contact with the Ministry as events develop,” he said. When asked whether Cambodia’s move to bring the matter before the ICJ would interfere with the JBC process, Mr Maris firmly responded that it would not. “It is Cambodia’s sovereign right to seek a ruling from the ICJ, just as Thailand has the sovereign right to pursue its own legal and diplomatic strategies,” he explained. In closing, the Minister stressed the importance of formulating a comprehensive strategic policy for negotiations with Cambodia, taking into account both bilateral relations and available international mechanisms.

Community Human Skeleton Found in Abandoned Café, Dog Seen Playing with Skull
Picture courtesy of Amarin. Police in Nakhon Sawan have launched an investigation after human skeletal remains, including a skull, were discovered being carried and gnawed on by a dog. Authorities believe the individual may have been dead for over a month. At approximately 16:00 on 2 June, Pol. Lt. Suthat Muangsuk, an investigator at Mueang Nakhon Sawan Police Station, received a report from a local resident concerning the discovery of a human skull at an old, disused café located at 184/174, Moo 10, Nakhon Sawan Tok Subdistrict. The report came from Mr Warong Theerata, the property owner, who told police that he had been alerted by a neighbour that one of the dogs kept on the premises had been roaming the area and behaving unusually. Upon inspecting the premises, Mr Warong was shocked to find the dog had brought a human skull into the building and was playing with it. Mr Warong stated that the café had been closed for some time but he had allowed a local man, 65-year-old Mr Somprasong Makam, who was reportedly suffering from various health issues, to live on the premises as he had no fixed residence. According to neighbours, Mr Somprasong was last seen walking near the café on about 2 May. Near a banana tree in the grounds of the café, other bones were also found scattered around. The dog had evidently brought the skull into the main building. Authorities from the Guanyin Foundation rescue team arrived at the scene to assist police in locating and collecting the remains. While initial speculation suggests the remains could be those of Mr Somprasong, police have yet to confirm the identity. The skull has been taken for forensic examination and a wider search of the property is underway to locate the rest of the skeleton and hopefully determine the cause of death. Police stressed that no conclusions have been drawn at this stage. The case remains under investigation, pending further forensic analysis. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-06-03. -
