Senators press govt to defy ICJ over Preah Vihear plot

A group of senators Monday urged the government to reject the authority of the World Court in the dispute over the plot of land surrounding the Preah Vihear temple.

 

The socalled Group of 40 Senators said the Pheu Thai government would have to inform the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that it had no authority to make a ruling over the dispute  and Thailand would not accept a ruling or order of the court that would affect sovereignty over the disputed plot.
