[Thai] Army 'has no plan to attack'
Bangkok Post
Commander of Army Region 1 (Northeast) Lt-Gen Udomdej Sitabutr (pictured) insisted on Wednesday that Thailand has no plan to attack Cambodia.
“The army chief has made it a clear-cut policy that Thailand will not invade any country first, but if our country is invaded, the armed forces are ready to protect it,” Lt-Gen Udomdej said, responding to unsourced rumours.
The commander of Army Region 1 said Cambodia had reinforced its infantry along the Thai-Cambodian border but not by many, and the reinforcements had no effect on the Thai armed forces.
He said border trade in Sa Kaew province continues as usual.
Lt-Gen Udomdej said the border dispute has nothing to do with the July 3 election and that the polls will take place as planned.
He denied as baseless a report that the military had lobbied people to support a particular political party, insisting that the military will definitely stay impartial.
Villagers flee the border
Wednesday, 29 June 2011
David Boyle
Phnom Penh Post
Villagers in Banteay Meanchey province have fled their homes amid growing front-line tension and reports of troop reinforcement on the Cambodia-Thai border, local officials said yesterday.
Relations between the countries have become increasingly strained since Thailand announced on Saturday that it was walking away from a UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris, primarily over the discussion of a Cambodian management plan for Preah Vihear temple. Thailand has claimed the plan threatens its territorial integrity.
Ma Moa, deputy commander of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces division 41, said yesterday his troops had begun fortifying their positions at Ta Moan mountain, near the Banteay Meanchey border, because they had observed Thai forces reinforcing and had been warned by their superiors of looming conflict.
“On the 27th, [deputy commander-in-chief of the RCAF] Kun Kim visited the troops stationed in Banteay Ampil district and said that in two days Thailand will attack our country, so we have to take precautions,” he said.
Kun Kim could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Pej Sinath, the chief of Thmar Daun village in Banteay Ampil district, said yesterday people from his front-line community and nearby Hanumarn village had fled 15 kilometres back from the border to Wat Ku pagoda, following warnings from Kun Kim and district governor Chap Phat, who was also not available for comment yesterday.
“Residents along the border have dug trenches at their houses already – they were digging to protect themselves,” Pej Sinath said.
Villagers said others had fled to the pagoda from Kokmon village, near the Ta Moan and Ta Krabey temples – the scene of deadly clashes between Thailand and Cambodia in April.
Patt Kimkol, 39, from Thmar Daun, said yesterday he had fled to the Wat Ku pagoda because he feared conflict.
“We have previous experiences, so there’s no need to wait until the shooting begins. We just wrapped up our clothes and ran,” he said.
The Bangkok Post reported on Monday that Thai army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha had said troop levels were increasing on the border and bunkers were being reinforced, while stressing the measures were precautionary.
The apparent military build-up comes a few days before Thailand’s federal election, in which polling has shown the opposition Pheu Thai party holds a slim lead.
Carlyle Thayer, a professor of politics at the University of New South Wales, said yesterday border tensions were sparked by domestic concerns and although neither country would want full-scale war, a stray shot could spark violent skirmishes.
“It can erupt … but no one is using this for anything other than domestic political theatre,” Thayer said.
Thai government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn said yesterday Prime Minster Abhisit Vejjajiva had made no order to reinforce border troops and had merely placed those already stat-ioned there on alert. “We are not stepping up our troops, and we are not threatening anyone,” he said.
In a statement yesterday, Cambodian defence ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat said Thai reports that Cambodia had reinforced its troops were exaggerated and the situation remained normal.

Thailand’s hard stance on UNESCO under scrutiny
June 29, 2011
Boris Sullivan
Thailand Business News
Thailand announced its departure from the World Heritage Convention with immediate effect on Saturday, after the World Heritage Committee failed to heed its request seeking postponement of the Cambodias unilaterally-proposed Preah Vihear Temple management plan, as Thailand fears that it may threaten national sovereignty.
Thailands Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti, leading the Thai delegation at the 35th session of the WHC meeting in Paris, earlier notified Mr Mounir Bouchenaki, director-general of International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property, who represents the director-general of United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation UNESCO, that Thailand would leave the World Heritage Convention and would also withdraw from the 21-member World Heritage Committee as the body continues to ignore any negative consequences which may arise from the consideration of the temple management plan which he said overlooks sensitive issues which could adversely affect Thailands sovereignty and territory.
However, the withdrawal was not fully backed by the Foreign Ministry, a government source said.
Officials from the Foreign Ministry who attended the meeting together with Suwit in Paris were satisfied with their negotiations with the Cambodian delegation on the draft of the World Heritage Committee’s decision.
Cambodia Thailand temple
The Thai business opportunities in Cambodia in the long-term inevitably will be harmed if the border conflict persists.
Suwit, who led the Thai delegation to the World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris last week, reported to the Cabinet on his decision to walk out of the session and the announcement of denunciation. The action is to protect Thai sovereignty over the territory adjacent to the Preah Vihear Temple, Panitan quoted Suwit as telling the Cabinet.
Abhisit backed Suwit’s decision and most of ministers in the Cabinet agreed with him, but the caretaker government decided not to carry out the procedure of denunciation, Panitan said.
Mr Suwit also said the World Heritage Centre, instead of revising the wording of the draft, decided to put it on the agenda of the WHC meeting in Paris, despite Thailands request to have the plan deferred, pending border demarcation with Cambodia. Thailand is opposed to the terms of “urgent repair and restoration” but preferred using the wording “protection and conservation” in the draft. The head of the Thai delegation also said the pullout means that any WHC resolution will not be binding to Thailand.
The withdrawal has resulted in the Director General of the Fine Arts Department, Mrs Somsuda Leyavanija, one of 21 members of the WHC, to leave her post. Mr Suwit earlier posted a message on his Twitter account late Saturday night saying, “Thailand has no choice but to withdraw as the meeting has resolved to put the issue on agenda.”
via Thailand pulls out of World Heritage Convention .
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Tuesday said the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Director-General Irina Bokova has sent a letter expressing her regret over Thailand’s decision to withdraw from the World Heritage Convention.
Mr Abhisit, before the weekly cabinet meeting, showed reporters a letter from the UNESCO chief and said briefly that he would address a news conference on Thailand’s stance after today’s Cabinet meeting.
National Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti, as head of the Thai delegation to the World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris, will report the issue to the Cabinet and agencies concerned will study the implication of the UNESCO agency’s resolution on Cambodia’s management plan for Preah Vihear after Thailand leaves the convention.
In her letter dated June 26, Ms Bokova has expressed deep regret with Mr Suwit’s declaration on the Thai intention to leave the 1972 World Heritage Convention.
“The World Heritage Committee did not discuss the management plan of the Preah Vihear temple nor did it request for any reports to be submitted on its state of conservation. Moreover, it needs to be clarified that UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre never pushed for a discussion of the Management Plan by the Committee,” Ms Bokova said in the letter.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting yesterday, Mr Suwit denied he would benefit from the decision to withdraw from the convention.
He said the decision was not premature and was intended to protect the country’s dignity and territorial integrity.
During the past three years he had done everything he could to lobby and convince member nations that the management plan was a sensitive issue and that approving the plan could lead to problems.
He said a resolution relating to Preah Vihear adopted at the Paris meeting of the World Heritage Committee had allowed Cambodia to carry out maintenance and repair work for Preah Vihear and the areas surrounding it and to seek financial assistance from Unesco.
Mr Suwit said he found the resolution unacceptable because it could lead to the loss of Thai territory.
If Thailand had accepted the resolution, it would have given Cambodia a chance to use it to fight at the International Court of Justice for ownership of the disputed areas around the temple.

Thai premier denies planning Cambodia offensive to delay election
Monsters and critics
Jun 29, 2011,
Bangkok (DPA)- Thailand will not escalate a border conflict with Cambodia in order to delay a general election scheduled this weekend, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Wednesday.
Abhisit was responding to comments reportedly made by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen that Thailand would use a conflict over a border dispute to attack Cambodia as a excuse to postpone the election, the Bangkok Post online news service said.
Abhisit, who was campaigning for votes in Samut Sakorn province Wednesday, said there was no reason for Thailand to clash with Cambodia and the election would 'definitely not be cancelled.'
Thailand and Cambodia have been at loggerheads over joint claims to a 4.6-square-kilometre plot of land adjacent to the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple, perched on a mountain range that defines their common border.
The International Court of Justice ruled the temple to be on Cambodian soil in 1962, but stopped short of defining the border.
A 2008 decision by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to designate the ruins as a World Heritage site over Thai objections has led to several border clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops over the past three years.
On Saturday, a Thai delegation attending a UNESCO meeting in Paris announced plans to withdraw from the World Heritage Committee over the issue.
Official withdrawal would need to be decided by the next Thai government.
The general election pits the Democrat Party, leaders of the government, against the Pheu Thai Party, whose de facto leader is fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
Thaksin, prime minister from 2001-06, was overthrown by a coup.
A Pheu Thai victory at the polls is expected to irk the Thai military.
'If the Pheu Thai win the election, after three months there will be problems if it fails to negotiate a deal with the military,' said Chuvit Kamolvisit, founder of the Love Thailand Party.
'But if the Democrats win, its likely that the protesters will return to Bangkok,' he said.
The capital was wracked by anti-government protests from March to May last year, with demonstrators calling on Abhisit to dissolve parliament and call for elections.
The protests led to street battles that left 92 dead and about 2,000 injured.
Abhisit dissolved parliament on May 13 and called a new election.
No attack on Cambodia: Thai commander
By Thai News Agency,
The Nation
First Army Region Commander Lt Gen Udomdej Sitabutr on Wednesday dismissed reports that Thai troops will attack Cambodia on July 1.
He said the Thai military has a clear stance that it will not invade other countries. "We will retaliate only after being attacked first."
Gen Udomdej said the Cambodian military has moved infantry units closer to the border province of Sa Kaew, but there has been no report of reinforcement of armoured vehicles or heavy weapons.
However he has ordered his troops to step up security measures including a strict check on people and vehicles which approach the border checkpoint and sought negotiation to ease problems such as talks by the regional border committee earlier scheduled in April.
Thailand on Saturday announced its departure from the World Heritage Convention (WHC) at the WHC meeting in Paris, saying the World Heritage Committee failed to heed its request seeking postponement of Cambodia's unilaterally proposed Preah Vihear temple management plan, as Thailand fears that it may threaten national sovereignty.
Ties between the neighbours have been strained since Preah Vihear temple was granted UN World Heritage status in July 2008.
Cambodia's Defence Ministry on Tuesday also denied that it has reinforced troops and weapons at the border with Thailand, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
The ministry also rejected the claim by Thailand's Army Region 2 spokesman Colonel Prawit Hookaew that there were some arms training such as grenade launcher and artillery taking place on Cambodian side.
On Monday, Col Prawit said that there was some redeployment and reinforcement of Cambodian troops along the border following Thailand's withdrawal of its membership from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Convention on Saturday.
"Royal Cambodian Armed Forces absolutely reject this badwilled fabrication by Thai troops to slander Cambodia and to prepare a scenario to intoxicate and lie to national and international communities," the ministry said in a statement. "This fabricated information by Thai troops is just a groundless argument in advance, aiming at attacking and invading Cambodian territory sometime in the future," it added.

No. 09-72941.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted June 10, 2011 — Seattle, Washington.
Filed June 28, 2011.
Before: REINHARDT, W. FLETCHER, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM*
Phung Dinh Phan, a Cambodian native and Vietnamese citizen, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision finding him removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(1)(A) and 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(i).1 We deny the petition for review.
Under § 1182(a)(6)(C)(i), an alien who "by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this Act is inadmissible." Contrary to Phan's contentions, both the immigration judge and the BIA clearly explained that the "material fact" that Phan had misrepresented was that he was engaged to enter into a bona fide marriage with a United States citizen.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA's finding that Phan's marriage to Cam Huynh was not bona fide. Phan was married to Huynh's sister until shortly before he married Huynh. Although Phan testified that he did not know his exwife's whereabouts after their divorce, documentary evidence suggested they continued to live in the same neighborhood as late as 2004, and Phan submitted a document that his ex-wife signed in 2004. Moreover, evidence from a site visit indicated that Phan and Huynh did not share a bedroom, despite their testimony to the contrary at Phan's hearing. Taking those facts together, we hold that the record does not compel reversal of the BIA's conclusion that Phan and Huynh did not "intend to establish a life together at the time they were married." Bark v. INS, 511 F.2d 1200, 1201 (9th Cir. 1975).
We need not decide whether the IJ erred in admitting District Adjudications Officer Williams' statements. Several other discrepancies between Phan and Huynh's testimony and the record evidence supported the adverse credibility determination, so any error did not prejudice Phan. See Cinapian v. Holder, 567 F.3d 1067, 1075-76 (9th Cir. 2009); Saidane v. I.N.S., 129 F.3d 1063, 1065 (9th Cir. 1997).
Finally, we agree with the BIA that the IJ did not place the burden of proof on Phan; rather, the IJ properly noted that Phan had not produced any evidence to rebut the government's clear and convincing showing that the marriage was not bona fide. Continued here.
