A view of the judgement and interpretation of the international court of justice in the temple of Preah Vihear case

In November 2013, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a judgment interpreting its previous ruling from 1962 regarding the Temple of Preah Vihear, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and long-standing border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand. The study provides a detailed legal analysis of both judgments, focusing on the ICJ's reasoning process and its implications for territorial delimitation along natural borders. It also examines how this case contributes to broader principles of international law, particularly in disputes involving sacred or culturally significant sites. By dissecting the Court's jurisprudence, the research clarifies key legal standards while offering insights into the resolution of complex boundary conflicts.
