The Central Administrative Court on Wednesday ordered the revocation of a resolution passed by the Samak Sundaravej cabinet approving the Thai-Cambodian joint communique supporting Phnom Penh's bid to list Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site with the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
The joint communique was issued on May 22, 2008 and the cabinet under the late PM Samak passed the resolution approving it on June 17 of the same year.
The case was filed on June 24 last year by 13 people including senators, academics and human rights activists.
