📢 STATEMENT OF CONCERN TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Date: 27 July 2027
Time: 11:15 AM

We, the people of Cambodia, raise our grave concern and objection to Thailand’s continued military aggression and refusal to honor ceasefire efforts.

Thailand has deliberately rejected recent ceasefire appeals, and their behavior reveals deeper strategic intentions:

  1. Loss of Strategic Positions: Thailand has lost several former forward operating bases such as Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Toch, Ta Krabei, and Mome Bai, weakening its former unilateral territorial advantage.

  2. Unfulfilled Expansionist Agenda: Thailand appears determined to pursue its longstanding military strategy rooted in imperialistic ambitions resembling the Chakri dynasty’s historical conquest model—aggressively attempting to extend its control over Cambodian sovereign land.

Thailand is now deliberately expanding the area of conflict to regions near Cambodia’s border with Trat province (Thailand), attempting to stretch and divide the strong and heroic defense forces of Cambodia. This is not merely a border skirmish; it is a calculated attempt to destabilize and reoccupy portions of Cambodia’s territory, violating modern international law.

This military incursion reflects a clear intention to replicate past colonial behaviors by reclaiming Cambodian provinces that were forcefully annexed during historical periods of injustice.

We urgently appeal to the United Nations, ASEAN, and all peace-loving nations and human rights institutions to:

  • Condemn Thailand’s violations of the ceasefire and its unjustified military incursions;

  • Deploy international observers to prevent further aggression;

  • Protect Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity;

  • Hold Thailand accountable for violations of international peace and security norms.

Cambodia respects peace and diplomacy. But peace must come with respect for sovereignty, law, and mutual dignity. The world cannot remain silent.

  Cambodia Under Hun Manet: Continuity and Change at a Crossroads After nearly four decades under Prime Minister Hun Sen, Cambodia is entering a new era. In August 2023, Hun Manet—his eldest son and a four-star general educated in the U.S. and U.K.—assumed leadership of the country following a carefully orchestrated power transfer. As Cambodia stands at a political crossroads, the key question emerges: does Hun Manet’s rise mark a genuine shift, or is it merely a change in appearance preserving the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) system? A New Face of Power Hun Manet’s ascent represents the first generational transition in Cambodia's post-Khmer Rouge political history. Educated at West Point and the University of Bristol, he projects a more technocratic and globally fluent image than his father, who rose to power in the context of war and Cold War alliances. Shortly after taking office, Hun Manet pledged to maintain political stability, attract investment, and improve governance...
