The article states: "The inclusion of a property in the World Heritage list requires the consent of the state concerned. "For the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) World Heritage Committee, territorial conflicts could undermine the spirit of world heritage as happened during the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia between 2008 and 2010. There is no way the committee will make the boundary line clear before the world heritage session in October.History now haunts Thailand. The inclusion of a property situated in a territory, sovereignty or jurisdiction over which is claimed by more than one state shall in no way prejudice the rights of the parties to the dispute. Thailand and Myanmar set up a joint boundary committee in 1993 to redraw the boundary demarcation but many areas along the 2,401-kilometre border still have not been settled.
