Hun Sen wants world to urge Thailand to go to ICJ over border dispute

13 Sept 22:18 Key points summarised by AI

Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen calls on the international community to press Thailand to resolve their border dispute through the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Prime Minister Hun Manet confirms Cambodia will unilaterally bring the dispute over four specific border areas to the ICJ, regardless of Thailand's objections.
Thailand consistently rejects ICJ intervention, insisting on resolving border issues through bilateral mechanisms like the Joint Boundary Committee (JBC).
Cambodia's leadership asserts that existing bilateral mechanisms are insufficient and plans to formally submit a complaint to the ICJ on June 15, 2025, excluding these specific issues from JBC discussions.
