UN told current border problem caused by Cambodia's invading into Thai territory
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva tells the United Nations that letter of Cambodia' Prime Minister Hun Sen to the UN concerning Preah Vihear controversy is "misquoted, taken out of context and misunderstood."
Abhisit said in his letter signed on August 10 to Vitaly Churkin, President of the United Nations Security Council, that the current border problem between both countries arises from Cambodia's encroachment of Thailand's territory in violation of international law.
Cambodia's intrusion also violated the Article 5 of the Memorandum of Understanding on boundary demarcation signed by Thailand and Cambodia in 2000 which states: "To facilitate the effective survey along the entire stretch of the common land boundary, authorities of either Government and their agents shall not carry out any work resulting in changes of environment of the frontier zone, except that which is carried out by the Joint Technical Sub-Commission in the interest of the survey and demarcation."
