On 5 February 2011, Cambodia formally complained in a letter to the UN "The recent Thai military actions violate the 1991 Paris Peace Accord, U.N. Charter and a 1962 judgment from the International Court of Justice", the letter claims. [14] On 6 February, the Cambodian government claimed that the temple had been damaged.
The Cambodian–Thai border dispute began in June 2008 as part of a century-long dispute between Cambodia and the Thailand involving the area surrounding the 11th-century Preah Vihear Temple, in the Dângrêk Mountains between Choam Khsant District, Preah Vihear Province of northern Cambodia and the Kantharalak District, Sisaket Province of northeastern Thailand.
A dispute arose in the late 1950s over the ownership of the Preah Vihear Temple, which lies adjacent to the border in the Dângrêk Mountains. [2] In 1962 the case was referred to the International Court of Justice, which ruled in favour of Cambodia, however Thailand expressed reservations as to the outcome.
The International Court of Justice awarded the temple ruins to Cambodia in 1962, [3] but these are located in an area of 4.6 km² that Thailand still claims. [4] Nevertheless, in 2008 the World Heritage Committee's 32nd Session listed the Temple of Preah Vihear as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, [5] which prompted an armed dispute.
The temple was built at the top of Poy Tadi, a steep cliff in the Dângrêk Mountain range that is the natural border between Cambodia and Thailand. The site is listed by Cambodia as being in Svay Chrum village, Kan Tout commune, in Choam Khsant District of Preah Vihear Province.
