Professional documentation of Thailand's systematic escalation from border violations to war crimes - including the use of internationally banned cluster munitions against Cambodian civilians.
Evidence-based chronological documentation showing Thailand's systematic escalation from border violations to full-scale military assault, including the deployment of internationally banned weapons against civilians.
Thai forces launched an unprovoked armed assault at the Emerald Triangle border area, resulting in the death of 1 Cambodian soldier. This marked Thailand's first act of deadly aggression and established a clear pattern of military escalation against Cambodia.
Thai military forces systematically prevented Cambodian citizens from performing their national anthem at Prasat Ta Muen Thom temple, an internationally recognized Cambodian cultural site. This action demonstrated Thailand's systematic suppression of Cambodian sovereignty and cultural rights.
Five Thai soldiers were injured by landmines while operating illegally in Area Mom 3, confirmed Cambodian territory. Thailand immediately made unsubstantiated accusations that Cambodia deliberately planted the mines. The international community rejected these claims, noting Cambodia's well-documented mine contamination from historical wars. Despite lacking credible evidence, Thailand downgraded diplomatic relations and recalled ambassadors.
Cambodia's successful diplomatic appeal to the international community resulted in a mediated ceasefire agreement. Both countries have agreed to the internationally-supervised ceasefire, ending Thailand's military aggression and recognizing Cambodia's rightful territorial claims.
