Joint communique unconstitutional
By The Nation
The Constitution Court on Tuesday ruled the joint communiqué signed by Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama and Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister Sok An was unconstitutional.
The joint communiqué is deemed as a treaty in accordance with 1969 Vienna Convention, said the court secretary general Paibool Warahapaithoon.
AS it was regarded as a treaty, the article 190 of the Constitution required it to pass the parliament reading before signature with foreign countries.
