THAI PM NEED UNESCO TO REVIEW ON APPROVAL ON PREAH VIHEAR LISTING

On June 18, 2009 , and English Newspaper of Thailand called The Nation reported that Prime Minister Abhisitt Vejjajiva showed the disagreement to the approval of listing Preah Vihear Temple as World Heritage Site. The Cabinet of his government decided to keep the stance of opposition to this approval and assigned on the of the Cabinet Minister to ask the UNESCO for reviewing the approval once again in the 33rd meeting in Spain next week. They need UNESCO to review the approval in the reason that the listing caused Cambodia and Thailand in dispute. Thailand would need to study again on what they are thinking as dispute is not coming from the listing but it's from the ambition of Thailand to grab Cambodia which Thailand reason that it's unclear area that need to be talk later. In this unclear area, no personals from both country are allowed to be in but Thailand deployed to troops to be in this area. That means that Thailand didn't have problem with listing but just only the trick to do that because of their internal dispute. The Internatial Court gave a victory on owning the Temple to Cambodia which means that Cambodia can do anything to care and protect the temple. Why Thailand are lobbying on that? Unesco also approved the request made by Cambodia to list this temple as World Heritage site according to the International Court Decision. With this reason, Thailand should stop any reaction to Cambodia on Preah Vihear Temple. Thailand should enfource the discussion on border to be clear as soon as possible better than keeping enfource to troups to the border side to cause the dispute unsettled. Preah Vihear Temple is belonging to Cambodia through International Court therefore Thailand should dismiss their demands on taking Preah Vihear Name to be in their discussion. It's easy, Cambodia's belonging must be name by Cambodian peopel and government not by Thailand. If Thailand is smart enought and they leaving out their embition and boasting, the things will be better in discussion.
