Cambodia didn’t take Thailand to the ICJ to prove who shot first. They did it to push a territorial claim over Ta Muen Thom Temple. Just like with Preah Vihear, they plan to use the outdated 1:200,000 map to twist the facts. Thailand uses the 1:50,000 topographic map for all border demarcations because it provides far greater accuracy and detail than Cambodia’s outdated 1:200,000 French colonial map. The 1:50,000 scale is internationally recognized for military and legal purposes, while the 1:200,000 map is too broad and imprecise to determine exact boundaries. You can’t redraw borders using an old map made for navigation, not for legal land claims.
They’re also upset because Thailand is now working with Laos and Myanmar to crack down on scam call centers, most of which are known to operate from Cambodian. Moreover, Cambodia opened fire on a hospital, a supermarket, a gas station, and other civilian areas, which is a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions and contravenes universally accepted humanitarian principles. Such actions are unacceptable under international law and have been condemned by the global community.
