Exposing Cambodian Aggression

Eight Violations Highlighted

On August 1, 2025, the Royal Thai Army’s “SMART Soldiers Strong ARMY” Facebook page detailed eight alleged Cambodian actions deemed severe breaches of international humanitarian law during the ongoing Thai-Cambodian border conflict. The post, addressing global audiences, condemned Cambodia for targeting civilian infrastructure and using cultural sites and civilians as shields, urging the international community to hold accountable those responsible for these violations.

Civilian Suffering Under Fire

Attacks on Vulnerable Communities

The Thai Army accused Cambodia of launching brutal attacks on hospitals, schools, and civilian areas, forcing nearly 200,000 Thais to flee their homes. The deployment of PMN-2 anti-personnel landmines in Thai territory, a violation of the Ottawa Convention, has caused significant injuries. These actions, coupled with Cambodia’s alleged use of civilians as human shields, have intensified the humanitarian crisis, drawing sharp criticism from Thai military officials.

Disinformation Fuels Tensions

Cambodia’s False Narratives

The army’s statement highlighted Cambodia’s daily disinformation campaigns, accusing its leadership of inciting hatred and distorting patriotism to fuel extremism. By spreading misleading claims, such as Thailand’s alleged use of chemical weapons, Cambodia seeks to manipulate public perception, the post argued. Thailand has refuted these accusations, emphasizing its restraint and commitment to targeting only military objectives while adhering to international law.

Call for Global Accountability

Urging International Action

The Royal Thai Army’s post concluded with a powerful call for global scrutiny, questioning who is truly violating humanitarian norms and using vulnerable populations as shields. Thailand’s disciplined response, guided by the UN Charter’s principles of necessity and proportionality, contrasts with Cambodia’s actions, which the army labeled as crimes against humanity. The statement invites the international community to support bilateral efforts for a peaceful resolution to the century-old border dispute, emphasizing accountability and justice.
