PHNOM PENH: Cambodia has formally asked the UN Security Council to take urgent action over what it described as “a series of unprovoked and escalating armed attacks” by Thai forces along their shared border, elevating the dispute from a bilateral conflict to an international security issue.
In a Dec 10 letter to the Security Council president, Keo Chhea (pic), Cambodian Permanent Representative to the UN, accused the Thai armed forces of violating the UN Charter, international humanitarian law, and existing ceasefire and peace agreements by launching cross-border military operations into Cambodian territory.
