Thailand rejects Cambodia’s claims at UNThailand’s Foreign Minister Sihasak PhuangketkeowThe full text of Thailand’s Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow’s address to the high-level segment of the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Feb 24.

Human rights can only thrive where there is respect for the rule of law and accountable leadership – where people can pursue their livelihoods in an open and free society, and most importantly where there is full respect for human rights for all.
