(BangkokPost.com) - About 300 senators, academic and national artists Tuesday petitioned the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) to postpone its consideration of Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site.
According to appointed senator Priyanandana Rangsit, the group feels it is important enough that the UN should change plans and refuse to accept the request by Phnom Penh to name the ancient temple as a World Heritage Site during the Unesco meeting beginning in Canada next week.
She said that the plan should be proposed by both Thailand and Cambodia because of land disputes around the site.
Unesco in Bangkok accepted the letter and promised to forward it to Unesco officials later.
