Bangkok - Several hundred Thais demonstrated in Bangkok Friday in support of their country's territorial rights after the UN's World Heritage Committee postponed a decision on a disputed temple on the Thai-Cambodian border.
The committee, part of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), was scheduled to rule Thursday on a Cambodian management plan for an 11th century Hindu temple straddling the border that has been a bone of contention between the two neighbours for decades.
At a meeting in the Brazilian capital Brasilia, the 21-member committee decided to postpone the decision until next year's meeting in Bahrain, after accusations of procedural errors.
