This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-The '''Preah Vihear dispute''' was a [[territorial dispute]] between [[Cambodia]] and [[Thailand]] over the [[Preah Vihear Temple]] located in disputed area between [[Preah Vihear Province]] of Cambodia and [[Sisaket Province]] of Thailand which Thai authority stationed troops there since 1954. Cambodia complained to the [[International Court of Justice]] (ICJ) in 1959, and it judged in 1962 that the temple is situated in Cambodian territory.
-The dispute arose from the different maps each party used in [[Boundary delimitation|national delimitation]]. France, who was the [[French Indochina|protector of Cambodia at the time]], agreed with Siam in Franco-Siamese boundary treaty of 1904. The Mixed Commission was set up in 1905, and it was to carry out delimitation between Siam and Cambodia. Cambodia used the map published by French geographers in 1907 (called "Annex I map") which showed the Temple in Cambodian territory. While Thailand used the provisions of the treaty of 1904 which reads:
-<blockquote>
-"The frontier between Siam and Cambodia starts, on the left shore of [[Tonlé Sap|the Great Lake]], from the mouth of the river Stung Roluos, it follows the parallel from that point easterly direction until it meets the river Prek Kompong Tiam, then, turning northwards, it merges with the meridian from that meeting-point as far as the [[Dângrêk Mountains|Pnom Dang Rek mountain chain]]. From there it follows the watershed between the basins of Nam Sen and the [[Mekong]], on the one hand, and the [[Mun River|Nam Moun]], on the other hand, and joins the Pnom Padang chain the crest of which it follows eastwards as far as the Mekong. Upstream from that point, the Mekong remains the frontier of the Kingdom of Siam, in accordance with Article 1 of the Treaty of 3 October 1893."</blockquote>
-This would deem the temple as being located within Thai territory.
-The ICJ judged on 15 June 1962 that Annex I map did not bind both parties because it was not the work of the Mixed Commission per the treaty. However, both parties adopted the map and the demarcation line in it, therefore had a binding character. The Siamese government did not disagree or object to the map, hence Thailand was bound by it, according to the legal principle "[[Silence procedure|Qui tacet consentire videtur si loqui debuisset ac potuisset]]." ICJ ruled by nine to three that the Temple was located in Cambodian territory and Thailand was obliged to withdraw all stationed troops there, and by seven to five, that Thailand restore to Cambodia any objects removed from the ruins since 1954.
-Even though the court settled the territorial issue, the political conflict continues to this day. After Cambodia applied the temple to be recognised as a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]] in 2008, this led to a new round of armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, with the latter perceiving the event as Cambodia gaining the disputed land around the temple. Cambodia requested a reinterpretation of the 1962 ICJ judgement in 2011, regarding the definition of the "vicinity" in the previous judgement. The ICJ ruled on 11 November 2013 that the 1962 judgement awarded all of the Preah Vihear [[promontory]] to Cambodia, and ordering the withdrawal of Thai soldiers.
