The Royal Thai Armed Forces firmly reject false accusations made by Lieutenant General Maly Socheata of Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defense, claiming Thailand violated Cambodian sovereignty and used chemical weapons. These claims are completely baseless and deliberately misleading.
Thailand has never developed, possessed, or used chemical weapons and fully complies with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and international humanitarian law, always prioritizing civilian safety.
In contrast, Cambodia’s defense spokesperson has repeatedly spread disinformation to gain false legitimacy in the international arena. This irresponsible and deceptive conduct undermines peace and regional stability.
Thailand’s military actions are lawful, measured, and taken in response to direct threats from Cambodia, who initiated the aggression. Thailand will not let lies distort the truth and will continue to clarify the facts to the global community, exposing Cambodia’s violations of humanitarian law, which may amount to war crimes.
Thailand urges the international community to condemn Cambodia’s deliberate disinformation campaign and stand for truth and justice.
