Phnom Penh: Dr. Yang Pov, a political geographer, said that Thailand will suffer humiliation on the international stage for the third time for continuing to violate Cambodia’s sovereignty.
During a roundtable discussion on “International Maps and Cambodian Sovereignty,” Dr. Yang Pov said that if Thailand does not back down from its insult to international law, which continues to violate and encroach deeper into Cambodian territory, it will surely suffer a third time because international law is still in force and still plays an important role in the world order. Therefore, Thailand cannot be insulted.
He stated that “Thailand has created a new reason to invade Cambodia’s sovereignty. It has created all kinds of excuses. Thailand has been humiliated since 1962, and again in 2013, when the International Court of Justice issued a ruling in 1962 and reinterpreted it, still stating that the Preah Vihear temple is in Cambodian territory. This is a double insult. Thai analysts have also warned that Thailand will be humiliated for the third time.”
The geo-political expert also sees that Thai Prime Minister Anutin is pushing Thailand into the pit of being an unfriendly nation because this unfriendliness is not only with Cambodia, but also with Laos, because Laos also uses the Franco-Siamese treaty, which is a legacy left by France. The doctor emphasized that Thailand has also expanded its friendship with Myanmar and Malaysia.
Please note that Cambodia still firmly opposes the Thai military’s illegal invasion and occupation of Cambodian territory and the creation of a new situation on the ground, without recognizing any changes to the border line resulting from the use of force and unilateral demands by the Thai side.
