In this case, CWCI asks the government of Cambodia to show a clear stance to the Thai counterpart to resolve the issue of Preah Vihear Temple, based on the respect of the judgment handed down by The Hague International Court of Justice, and to unilaterally (present its case) without the participation of the Thai counterpart at the summit meeting of the World Heritage Commission which will be held in Canada on 04-12 July 2008.
CWCI would like to stress to the Thai government also that Thailand must abide by the judgment rendered by the International Court of Justice, and it should have the goodwill to resolve the border issues with its Cambodian counterpart, under the spirit of respect of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and with an end to interference to internal affairs of Cambodia, in the name of likewise ASEAN members, and as the signatory of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia.
CWCI is calling on civil society, political organizations, and the Cambodian public to participate in the protection of Preah Vihear Temple which is the cultural heritage and the common assets of our Nation.
