PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - Cambodia's prime minister on Friday called on Thailand to comply with the orders of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and withdraw from disputed border territory at the same time as Cambodian troops.
Prime Minister Hun Sen told reporters that the mutual withdrawal will stop flare-ups of fighting in the area and benefit both countries.
The comments at the news conference were his first since the court decision, which came in response to an appeal from Phnom Penh asking for clarification of the 1962 court decision that awarded it the temple.
