PHNOM PENH - Cambodia will file a complaint with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over border disputes with Thailand, Prime Minister Hun Manet said on June 2, after a Cambodian soldier was killed in a recent frontier clash.
“Cambodia hopes that the Thai side will agree with Cambodia to jointly bring these issues to the International Court of Justice...to prevent armed confrontation again over border uncertainty,” Mr Hun Manet said during a meeting between MPs and senators.
Military clashes between the South-east Asian neighbours erupted in 2008 and have led to several years of sporadic violence, resulting in at least 28 deaths.
