Abstract

The Case of the Temple of Preah Vihear (“the Temple”) has long been debated since 1960s. In 1962, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered a decision of the Case that the Temple is situated in the territory under the sovereignty of Cambodia, however, the dispute concerning the Temple and its vicinity is still controversy, in particular, the issue of the ownership over the area surrounding the Temple evidenced by the Application filed by Cambodia to request the Court to interpret its 1962 Judgment in the Case Concerning the Temple of Preah Vihear (Cambodia v. Thailand) and the public hearing before the Court for the final oral arguments in the legal battle between Thailand and Cambodia was committed during 15 to 17 of May 2013. The dispute regarding the Temple of Preah Vihear since 1962 challenges not only the ICJ to reinterpret its own 50-year-old Judgement but the conflict between two Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries seem as a substantial knock back to the solidarity, credibility and dispute settlement mechanism of ASEAN at a time when it had just promulgated the ASEAN Charter.
