The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia in the Emerald Triangle region has reignited, with tensions driven by contested border lines and claims to ancient temples. Particularly central to the conflict is the Preah Vihear/Phra Viharn temple, whose UNESCO Heritage Site status has fueled hostilities since 2008. Recent fighting has led to significant casualties and displacements, with over 30 deaths reported. Amidst ongoing ceasefire violations, accusations have emerged on social media alleging Cambodia is militarizing ancient sites, which raises concerns about violations of international laws and UNESCO principles.
Recent social media claims allege that Cambodia is using ancient temples as military bases, which violates international conventions and UNESCO principles, sparking widespread concern.
Despite a ceasefire being established since July 28, reports of violations continue to undermine peace efforts and highlight the tense relationship between Thailand and Cambodia.
