Subject: Egyptian Interdiction Zone
Madam Prime Minister,
It is with profound respect that I introduce myself as Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, newly elected General Secretary of the People’s Front of Thailand. I have been entrusted by millions of Thai citizens, who have exercised their democratic rights across four distinct parties within our coalition, to lead our nation as Prime Minister Thaksin nears the completion of his final term. It is a profound honor to carry the aspirations of a nation that believes deeply in the values we uphold, and though I may be youthful, I stand as a representative of the future—a future in which the younger generation plays a pivotal role. As I endeavor to guide the People’s Front towards a resounding electoral victory akin to that achieved by Prime Minister Thaksin, I extend my unwavering commitment to ensuring that the strong and comprehensive alliance between our nations will not only persist but will also thrive.
Beyond customary courtesies, I wish to draw the attention of the French administration to a matter of grave international concern: the "Egyptian Interdiction Zone (EIZ)." It is a fundamental tenet of international law, and indeed of the international community, that state sovereignty is paramount, a principle enshrined in customary international law. Sovereignty accords states the inviolable right to manage their internal affairs free from external intrusion. The unilateral actions of Egypt in designating regions as CORE and PERIPHERAL within the EIZ and asserting a right to retaliate against foreign involvement therein, represents a significant encroachment on this principle. Such actions undermine the very fabric of state sovereignty and impose an undue will upon other independent nations.
The people of Thailand are gratified by the French Empire’s support for our rightful and legitimate interpretation of international law, grounded in precedents and jurisprudence, in the ongoing legal dispute between Thailand and Egypt. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Thaksin, the current Thai administration has consistently championed a world order that upholds and enforces international norms, ensuring that no state can act unilaterally to the detriment of the global community. The Progressive Party, of which I am a member, stands in full alignment with Prime Minister Thaksin’s Thai Rak Thai Party on this critical issue. Since 2003, our Justice Minister, Piyabutr, and his esteemed legal team have been diligently working on this case, demonstrating our unwavering commitment and capability to secure a ruling from the Court that upholds the primacy of international law.
However, while some may label the current administration as radical, there is a growing sentiment among the Thai people that it does not go far enough in creating a truly fair and equitable world that is both secure and prosperous. Advocates of liberal democracy often speak of a “rules-based global order,” yet what we witness is the increasing tendency of states to act unilaterally, imposing their will without meaningful consultation with the broader international community. This glaring absence of a genuine rule of law on the world stage underscores the urgent need to establish and reinforce such a framework.
Upon securing an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice that affirms the principles of international law, the People’s Front is committed to leveraging constitutional mechanisms to issue a binding recommendation to the Thai Government. This recommendation will seek another advisory opinion, this time focusing on the Egyptian Interdiction Zone, which embodies the violation of international law. Our objective is to have the Court reaffirm the inherent rights of all states to non-intervention and to exercise exclusive authority over their internal affairs.
In this critical juncture, Thailand sincerely hopes that the French Empire will stand with us against the blatant violations of long-standing international norms that form the bedrock of our world order.
Regards,
Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit
