At an international forum, Cambodia called on Thailand to implement existing agreements sincerely and withdraw forces from territory Cambodia identifies as its own, to end tensions and create conditions for lasting peace.
Addressing the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, Deputy Prime Minister Prak Sokhonn said the presence of Thai forces on Cambodian territory was the main obstacle to civilians returning home safely and with dignity.
He called for peaceful dispute resolution, adherence to non-use of force, and strict respect for international and international humanitarian law. Cambodia reiterated that sovereignty, territorial integrity and bilateral agreements were essential to trust and harmonious coexistence.
Prak Sokhonn concluded: “Only by upholding these principles can the peoples of both countries live together in peace, stability and mutual respect.”
