evidence: Border land around the cherished Preah Vihear temple belongs to Cambodia and Thailand’s police and security forces must leave the territory, the United Nation’s highest court ruled Monday in a decades-old dispute between the Southeast Asian neighbors. [...] "Cambodia had sovereignty over the whole territory of the promontory of Preah Vihear," Judge Peter Tomka wrote in the decision of the 17-member panel in The Hague, Netherlands.
