No Winners in Thailand-Cambodia Border Dispute
THAILAND, JUL 2 – Paetongtarn Shinawatra was suspended amid backlash from a leaked call with Cambodia's Hun Sen during escalating border clashes that killed one soldier and disrupted millions, court ruled.
- On May 28, Thai and Cambodian forces exchanged fire near Preah Vihear, triggering the latest escalation in their long-standing border dispute.
- The dispute roots in the 1962 ICJ ruling awarding the Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia without clarifying surrounding borders, fueling long-standing tensions.
- Evidence shows a Cambodian soldier was killed, and on June 24, Thailand closed border crossings affecting millions, with exceptions for essential travel.
- Following the June 18 leaked call with Hun Sen, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra faced backlash, leading to her suspension by the Constitutional Court on July 1.
- Within ASEAN, non-interference doctrine and calls to 'respect the status quo' have yielded only generic restraint, leaving sovereignty posturing unchecked and risking routine clashes.
