(BangkokPost.com) - Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat will visit Cambodia on Wednesday to discuss the Thai-Cambodian border row following the Joint Border Committee (JBC) meeting earlier this week.

It is a matter of following to the letter and respecting the spirit inscribed
In the “purpose” of the United Nations Charter
By Pancha Seila
The “purpose” of the charter of the United Nations called for member nations to respect international treaties and agreements.
The Joint Border Committee (JBC) which both Cambodia and Thailand have referred to in all their communications and talks was established under the 2000 MOU signed between Cambodian and Thai governments, and said 2000 MOU decides to utilize the map drawn by the French-Siam mixed commissions established under the French-Siam 1904 Convention and the French-Siam 1907 Treaty.
It should not be any other map to be brought into the talks on the demarcation of the boundary line between Cambodia and Thailand. It is not the question of using different maps. It is the question of abiding by the spirit of the United Nations Charter.
Under any round of talks or under any joint tasks for survey and demarcation of the boundary line between Cambodia and Thailand and to be in conformity with the spirit inscribed in the “purpose” of the United Nations Charter, the only map to be referred to and to be used will be unmistakably the map drawn by the French-Siam mixed commissions.
