Cambodia to take up long-running border dispute with Thailand at UN's top court
PHNOM PENH — Cambodia has said it plans to seek a ruling from the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) over border disputes with Thailand, one of which triggered a fatal military clash last week.Cambodia's National Assembly, where Prime Minister Hun Manet's ruling Cambodian People's Party holds all but a handful of seats, voted on Monday to support the government's decision.In 1962, the ICJ awarded Cambodia disputed territory on which a historic temple is located, a move that rankled Thailand and to this day remains a major irritant in bilateral relations.The ICJ reaffirmed that ruling in 2013.Speaking on Monday at a meeting of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Thailand's Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa said Cambodia...

South Korea is voting for a new president after six months of political chaos
SEOUL — After half a year of political turmoil, uncertainty and division, South Koreans began voting on Tuesday for a new president to succeed Yoon Suk Yeol, the disgraced former leader who plunged the democratic nation into chaos by declaring martial law in December.This election feels particularly significant; the country, a US ally and Asian economic and cultural powerhouse, has floundered for months with a revolving door of interim leaders while navigating Yoon’s impeachment trial and a multipronged investigation into the fateful night of his short-lived power grab.All the while, South Korea’s economy has suffered, with US President Donald Trump’s trade war and a potential global recession looming in the background.
