The House-Senate joint meeting on Tuesday agreed to withdraw the minutes of three meetings of the Thailand-Cambodia Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) from Parliament's consideration.
The Parliament voted 240 to 12, while 86 abstained and nine parliamentarians did not vote, to withdraw the minutes from consideration.

It also agreed with the panel assigned to study the minutes calling on the government to expedite talks with Cambodia to remove troops from the disputed area in preparation to continue demarcation. The government should also expedite rehabilitation for villagers living in the disputed area and affected from the border dispute.

The committee also urged the Thai representatives to dismiss false information many times provided by Cambodian counterpart.

The Foreign Ministry submitted JBC's minutes them for Parliament's approval last November, but Parliament hesitated to endorse them. The legislative body doubted whether they were documents requiring its approval in accordance with Article 190 of the Constitution.

A group of lawmakers led by the ruling Democrat Party's Sirichok Sopha appealed to the Constitution Court to rule on the need for Parliament to consider the JBC documents but the court rejected the request leaving many parliamentarians hesitate to consider the minutes with fear of violating the Constitution.
