83. In its response, Cambodia maintained that “the Court’s use of the term ‘vicinity’ can best
be appreciated in the light of the overlap between the Annex I map line and the watershed line
proposed by the Thai experts in the original proceedings”. As indicated on the map annexed to
Cambodia’s response, the area between these two lines includes the entirety of the promontory of
Preah Vihear and the hill of Phnom Trap. The Annex I map line is shown as the northern limit of
this area. The western and eastern limits of the area identified by Cambodia consist of the points
where the Annex I map line and the watershed line advocated by Thailand intersect. Cambodia
accepts Thailand’s estimate that this area measures approximately 4.6 square kilometres.
84. Thailand responded to the question by stating that “n 1962, the ‘vicinity’ of the
Temple was identified by the Council of Ministers for the purposes of the withdrawal of the Thai
troops who were stationed there”. The 1962 Resolution of the Thai Council of Ministers was based
upon a report, which outlined two possible methods for determining the extent of the “vicinity [of
the Temple] on Cambodian territory”. The Resolution chose the second of these methods, which
involved confining the Temple within an area bounded, to the south and east, by the escarpment
and, to the west, north and north-east, by a line close to the Temple. That line (referred to in
paragraph 22, above, as the “Thai Council of Ministers’ line”) consisted of three segments. The
first segment began at the south-western part of the escarpment and ran north in a straight line,
parallel to, and a few metres to the west of, the Temple buildings, until it reached a point a few
metres north of the most northern part of the Temple buildings. The second segment ran east from
