Listen to this articleThailand has accused Cambodia of violating international and humanitarian law while noting it still faces unfounded allegations from the other side. Cambodia positioned troops, weapons and military stockpiles within civilian zones, contravening civilian-protection norms and using residents as human shields -- a practice strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law, it added. The centre urged the international community to assess the situation based on international law, humanitarian principles and verifiable evidence -- not misinformation or propaganda. Meanwhile, the Royal Thai Army rejected Cambodia's latest allegations that Thai troops have crossed the border and occupied territory in four Cambodian provinces. Maj Gen Winthai said Thai forces had not seized or occupied any Cambodian land, and all areas currently under Thai control are indisputably within Thailand.
