To: Everyone
We, the undersigned Cambodians and Cambodian Americans living abroad, would like to submit this petition to the United Nations and to the United States of America to request the support for withdrawal of the Thai military and paramilitary from Cambodia’s Preah Vihear and the surrounding agreed disputed regions.
After the decision by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to include Preah Vihear temple as one of its World Heritage Sites on July 07, 2008, the Thai government sent hundreds of military and paramilitary forces to occupy one of Cambodia’s Buddhist temples called “Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak or Preah Vihear temple” located within the region of Preah Vihear temple and refused to withdrawal these forces even after requested by Cambodian government. Instead these military forces have been increased daily.
