189. Request for interpretation of the judgment of 15 June 1962 in the Case concerning the temple of Preah Vihear (Cambodia v. Thailand) (Cambodia v. Thailand) (request for the indication of provisional measures)

In July 2011, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a pivotal decision regarding the Temple of Preah Vihear, a UNESCO World Heritage Site straddling the Cambodia-Thailand border. The Court rejected Thailand's bid to remove the case from its General List and instead ordered provisional measures to preserve the status quo while the dispute over the 1962 judgment's interpretation proceeded. This ruling underscored the ICJ's role in resolving long-standing territorial disputes involving culturally significant sites, ensuring their protection during legal proceedings.
