Parliament has postponed its deliberation of the minutes from the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission meetings until this coming Tuesday, after a five-hour debate yesterday failed to reach any conclusion.

The government has asked parliament to endorse three documents from previous JBC meetings between Thailand and Cambodia.

Section 190 of the constitution requires that any crucial binding international treaty must be endorsed by parliament.

A joint sitting of the parliament deliberated the three minutes yesterday.
