Thaksin’s previous attorney, now the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the current Samak regime, is being criticized for his decision to join Cambodia’s request to allow Cambodia to request UNESCO status for the temple Preah Vihear.  The request has been the subject of a successful injunction in the Thailand administrative Court.  The decision of the International Court way back in 1962, actually affirms the rights of Cambodia to the Temple.  (See International Court of Justice Decision: Temple of Preah Vihear).   One of the most notable aspect of the decision, is that it is so old that it is actually typewritten.   You would think that the lack of computers and word processors would force the justice to be less bombastic.  The decision is over 60 pages long and there are other huge document files associated with the case.  One (of several) dissenting opinion is longer than the main opinion.  God Bless the secretarial staff.
