Cambodia Seeks Maritime Boundary Pact as Thailand Vows to Protect Rights at UNCLOS Panel
Phnom Penh pushes for a peaceful settlement of the Gulf of Thailand dispute while Bangkok says the proceedings concern maritime delimitation, not sovereignty over Koh Kood island
Cambodia is pursuing a maritime boundary agreement with Thailand through a panel established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), according to Anadolu Agency, which reported on the dispute over the Gulf of Thailand.
Phnom Penh has pressed for a peaceful settlement of the long-running disagreement, the report said, as the two Southeast Asian neighbors seek to resolve overlapping claims through the international legal mechanism.
Thailand, for its part, said it would protect its rights during the proceedings, according to Anadolu Agency. Bangkok stated that the case before the panel concerns maritime delimitation in the Gulf of Thailand and does not involve sovereignty over Koh Kood island.
The dispute centers on how the maritime boundary between the two countries should be drawn in the Gulf of Thailand, an area both nations claim rights over. The involvement of an UNCLOS panel indicates that both governments are seeking a resolution through established international legal channels rather than unilateral action.
Further details on the timeline of the panel's proceedings and the specific claims made by each side were not immediately available.
