Cambodia to File ICJ Complaint Over Border Dispute With Thailand
Cambodia is going to ask the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to help solve its problems with Thailand about where their border is.
They are doing this because there have been clashes between soldiers from both countries, and one Cambodian soldier was recently killed.
Cambodia says it was an unprovoked attack and wants the ICJ to help prevent future fighting.
The areas that are being argued over include the Emerald Triangle and Ta Moan Thom Temple.
The border disputes have led to years of violence.
Both countries are working to resolve the issue peacefully.
Cambodia will file a complaint with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding border disputes with Thailand.
A Cambodian soldier was killed in a recent clash in the Emerald Triangle, a joint border area.
Cambodia's foreign ministry demanded an investigation into the 'unprovoked attack'.
The Emerald Triangle and Ta Moan Thom Temple are among the areas to be included in the ICJ complaint.
Thailand's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
