This should not be a surprise at all.
A dispute land means that there is no clear sign of whose land it
belongs too.
That is why it's called a dispute land.
Cambodians have claimed that it's theirs.
Thailand has claimed that it's theirs.
Whose land is it?
That's why the order is this way.
This is a correct verdict.
/That is great news, but somehow holding back the land without doing any
profit, seem ICJ unsure
will cause the same issue in the next 60 years. Why doesn't ICJ allow
Cambodia government open that land
for free products zone while Prasat Preah Vihear already own by
Cambodia? So citizens all side can enjoy free zone of exchange goods.
Correct verdict or not, but the cause of life will be unrest for the 60
years for sure.

I am glad to hear about this settlement. But I am disappointed about the
order to withdraw Cambodian troops from the zone. Other provisions such as
Cambodia can access to the zone without disturbed and allow the zone to be
mediated by ASEAN. I am not good in legal procedure, but this order seems
take into account of compromise rather than legally decision-making. At the
note underneath, the ICJ has been established by the UNs since 1954. So the
on-going task of this organ must not be worried. But what I am worrying is
the change of legal set in accordance with the change of global and regional
embodiments. For instance, in 1962, the influence of ASEAN or the
proportional work must not be concerned by the ICJ to harvest with regional
body like the ASEAN.
Furthermore, Thailand took a wrong path of its policy regarding conflict
zone and border dispute by militarizing. Thailand should operate policy in
the conflict zone as well as along the border line by materializing. Vietnam
has successfully operated its co-operative policy with Cambodia in its
modern update of economic innovation (I think they use the term do moi in
Vietnamese). Vietnam has changed the conflict zone and border schemes into
the zone of development and co-operation (materialization). Vietnam has
gained both the existing influence they capitalized during the 1979-1990 and
the economic boom achieving during their do moi policy of economic
liberalization and materialization.
Of course, if we look back to the post-sponsored democratization by UNs in
Cambodia, Thailand successfully injected its media, telecommunication and
businesses in Cambodia. But after the burning of Thai embassy and the coup
detat in 1997, Thailand has gradually lost its confidence in capitalizing
economic cooperation with Cambodia.
In tern of this imbalanced approach between Thailand and Vietnam in
Cambodia, the serious question will fall up the policy makers and government
of Cambodia. Remember, Cambodia has been in troubles as well as lost its
pieces by pieces of border territory because of the imbalanced policies
towards these two countries since the pre-French colonial to post-French
colonial, and it is likely to this modern Cambodia.
Cambodian ancient saying keeps remind us that "the visible enemies are not
dangerous to us, but the invisible ones are". The decision of the ICJ might
consider the path to strengthening cooperation between Thailand and Cambodia
more important than to make these two countries a foe with one another. And
the modern world is more invisible than visible. So Cambodia needs strong
leadership of policy planners, learned and experienced policy strategists,
good governance and the rule of laws in order to confront with the
invisibility of current approaches of globalization and undeniable
co-operations with every partner.

Please find attached ICJ orders of 18 July 2011 re. Request for the
indication of provisional measures - The Court finds that both Parties must
immediately withdraw their military personnel currently present in the
provisional demilitarized zone defined by it, and refrain from any military
presence within that zone and from any armed activity directed at that
zone .
Good signs for Cambodia that the ICJ found that it has the jurisdiction to
decide on Cambodia's application. As a lawyer, I am very relieved as I was
worried that the Court would rule that it has no jurisdiction to decide the
Application as the statutory limitation may have expired.
