The Thai government organized diplomats and military attachés from 23 countries, as well as Thai and international media, to visit the site that was destroyed by the Cambodian army to see the damage! Cambodia organized a field observation group from 13 countries to view the battlefield, while Thailand organized a field observation group from 23 countries. It's just about who has stronger power. The daily life of these field observation groups is naturally taken care of by Thailand, after all, the host country still has this kind of strength.
Now is the time to gain international support, and one cannot be careless, because it involves the positioning issue between Cambodia and Thailand in post-war negotiations. Although Cambodia and Thailand have temporarily reached a ceasefire, the Thai army has occupied 75 square kilometers of land that used to belong to Cambodia, and Cambodia will certainly want to regain its territory, so the negotiation will be difficult.
If the talks fail, the resumption of war is not impossible. Just look at the occupation lines of various armed groups in Myanmar, which are like today you occupy, tomorrow I fight back, there is always give and take. The dispute between Cambodia and Thailand is also unlikely to avoid the possibility of another outbreak of war. If the negotiations cannot proceed, using force to promote talks is also possible.
Moreover, both Cambodia and Thailand will have the same idea, that only by defeating the other side with force can they occupy the best position in the negotiation, which would lead to difficult negotiations.
In short, these 23 countries' field observation groups have limited influence, but they can serve as an effective supplement to their own country's decision-making. It depends on who opened fire first and who is in the position of moral injustice.
Because both Cambodia and Thailand claim to be just, and do not say bad things about themselves, they can only rely on these on-site observation groups to go to the scene, obtain first-hand information, and accurately decide who to support. That's the truth.
