ICJ to rule Tha-Khmer dispute next month

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will deliver its verdict on the dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over Preah Vihear Temple on November 11, Foreign Minister Surapong Tohvichakchaikul said Wednesday.

The Court informed the Thai Embassy in the Hague of his decision to bring the ruling forward, he said. Earlier the Thai side had expected that the verdict would be delayed until February next year as it was understood the Court was busy with other pending cases.
Surapong quoted the ICJ as saying that it is delaying Chile-Peru dispute and has moved the Thai-Khmer dispute up on its agenda..
