Laos and Thailand only care about $$$, Cambodia cares about the environment. Whose side are you on?

Reply to this commentI like to remind SIN NINY that the resolutions and decisions adopted by the MRC are of consultative nature without any legal binding with which Laos might comply or not. That was in the spirit of cooperation that Laos has accepted to carry the studies on impact of the Dams. In International Law there is no organ of repression unlike the national law so you cannot bring Laos as a sovereign state to international court without its consent. Learn also that there is no supra national court that has a competence to give order to Laos to give up the construction of the Dams within its territory; it is its sovereign right.

Reply to this commentIt seems to me that Sin Niny has no any notion of international Law having warned to Bring Laos to the court for the construction the hydroelectric dams across the Mekong in its territory. I like to see if Cambodia is capable to bring China to the Court as well for having built 4 hydroelectric dams on the same watercourse body. I don’t believe that there is any court that has a supra national competence to order Laos to give up the construction of the dams across the Mekong in its territory. The cases are not of the same nature with the Pra Viharn temple one that was a territorial conflict between Thailand and Cambodia in 10960.

Reply to this commentCambodia should be warning China instead of Lao, Why? Do you think, Cambodia can ask China to destroy all dams in upper stream Mekong?
China can build any dams in their Land, but why Lao cannot do?
All the best

Laos has a sovereign right to build those dams in its territory and there is no any court that has the competence to order Laos to stop it.

It's the right and territory of Laos. And for the prosperity of all Lao nation and poverty eradication, Lao Government should go gogogogogog ahead. Sin Niny, yo can persuade your parents or all your cousin to protest China and bring China to Hague.
Laos has always given a wonderful cooperation to her neighboring countries, including Khmer. Many of here might be aware that during relocation of MRC secretariat from Bangkok to the countries having capital cities located along Mekong River. All GMS countries had agreed to relocate in Vientiane Capital of Laos. Contradictorily, Khmer had objected the relocation to Vientiane and had proposed to rotate the MRC secretariat in every 4 years between Phnom Penh and Vientiane.
