- Professor Gillian Triggs examines the complicated boundary dispute concerning the Temple of Preah Vihear on the border of Thai-Cambodian border.
She discusses:
- Why is this case of interest in international law
- Historical content and why the issue arose
- How cultural attitudes to the court and expectations regarding the rule of law impacted on the outcome of the dispute
- The implications of there being no system of appeal
- The current situation and implications for international boundary disputes
Since filming this interview, Cambodia (on 2 May 2011) filed an application with the ICJ requesting interpretation of the earlier Judgment of the Court on 15 June 1962 and also an urgent indication of provisional measures. Cambodia argues, inter alia, that the 1962 Judgment is based on the prior existence of an international boundary established and recognized by both states and that Thailand is obliged to withdraw from the vicinity of the Temple situated on Cambodian territory. The public hearings on the Request for the indication of provisional measures were concluded on 31 May 2011.
