“And obviously no mission could take place to the site until hostility has ceased between the two parties.”
Unesco has no plans to visit the site of Preah Vihear temple until military tension along the border abates, a representative for the organization said.
Cambodia requested a Unesco team investigate alleged damage to the temple from Thai artillery fire in clashes earlier this month. And while Unesco has agreed to send a team in principle, it is waiting for more calm.
“There is no mission foreseen to the temple site at this point,” said Sue Williams, a spokeswoman for Unesco. “And obviously no mission could take place to the site until hostility has ceased between the two parties.”
Thailand has said it objects to the Unesco mission while military tensions remain.
