Cambodia Reiterates UN Charter Rules on Threat or Use of Force
The Permanent Mission of Cambodia to the United Nations has said that any threat or use of force against the territorial integrity of a state is a violation of international law. The statement reinforces Cambodia’s support for national sovereignty, political independence, and respect for internationally recognized borders.
The mission said international law clearly prohibits actions that undermine a country’s territorial integrity. It stressed that disputes between states must be resolved through peaceful and lawful means. These principles, it noted, are essential for maintaining global peace and stability.
Cambodia’s representative referred to Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter, which requires all member states to refrain from threatening or using force against another state’s territory or political independence. The provision remains a key foundation of international law and modern diplomacy.
The statement also highlighted Cambodia’s support for dialogue and multilateral cooperation. It reaffirmed the country’s commitment to working within the United Nations framework and engaging constructively with other nations to prevent conflict.
The remarks come amid ongoing regional and global tensions, where territorial disputes continue to affect international relations. Cambodia emphasized that restraint and respect for international law are necessary to avoid escalation and protect stability.
The mission further urged all countries to uphold their obligations under international law. It said respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is essential for building trust and ensuring peaceful coexistence among nations.
The statement concluded by reaffirming Cambodia’s commitment to the principles of the UN Charter and its willingness to work with the international community to promote peace, stability, and respect for international law.
