• Awaiting deadline 60% Diplomatic Stalemate

  Thai and Cambodian foreign ministries engage in low-level backchannel talks to de-escalate rhetoric without addressing the UN report's validity. Both governments issue joint statements emphasizing bilateral sovereignty, effectively sidelining the UN rapporteur's findings while avoiding further military posturing. The border region remains quiet as both sides prioritize domestic economic stability over international diplomatic disputes.

• Awaiting deadline 25% UN Report Suppression

  Thailand leverages its ASEAN chairmanship role to pressure the UN Human Rights Council to delay or water down the release of the rapporteur's full report. Cambodian officials, wary of antagonizing Thailand and seeking Chinese investment, quietly discourage local advocacy for the displaced population. The final report is either significantly redacted or never formally adopted by the UN General Assembly due to procedural blocks.

• Awaiting deadline 10% Information Counter-Offensive

  Thailand launches a coordinated diplomatic and media campaign to disprove the 650,000 displacement figure, releasing its own data from border provinces showing minimal internal movement. International media outlets pick up on Thailand's counter-narrative, creating a confused information environment where the UN's credibility is questioned in Western capitals. The dispute shifts from human rights to statistical accuracy, delaying any concrete international intervention.

• Awaiting deadline 5% International Sanctions Threat

  The UN rapporteur’s report is formally adopted by the Human Rights Council, leading several EU member states to propose targeted sanctions against Thai military officials for alleged human rights violations. Thailand responds by expelling the UN rapporteur and threatening to withdraw from international human rights treaties, causing a diplomatic rupture. Cambodia, though not directly sanctioned, faces increased international scrutiny for its complicity in the information blackout.
