Temple ruling against principles of justice: Thai lawyer

Radion Australia – August 04, 2008

Cambodian and Thai forces continue to face off near the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple.

The confrontation started earlier this month, when Bangkok backed Cambodia’s bid to have the temple listed as a World Heritage site. That sparked Thai nationalists, who seized the opportunity and swung into action. But there has been continued sentiment over the issue, ever since the International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that the temple belonged to Cambodia.
