Thailand, Cambodia to return to military positions after border clash

A Cambodian soldier was killed at the shared border with Thailand after violence flared in May, prompting both countries to reinforce their military presence. Thai and Cambodian forces agreed to return to their previous border positions but differ on how to resolve disputes: Thailand doesn’t recognize the International Court of Justice’s jurisdiction while Cambodia has called for its involvement. Historically, the border dispute dates back a century, with tensions arising from French colonial claims in 1907 and recent violence resulting in at least one death.
