The NEXT Forty-eight days: ACCESS DENIED
POSTSCRIPT
Appendix I
A UNIVERSAL DECLARATION FOR
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Violence and war cannot solve the
problems of Humanity. We call for an
end to violence and killing among all
races, religions and countries. Peace
can only come through justice, equality
and the respect for all human life.
Conflict resolution can also be found
through peaceful dialogue and the
implementation of international laws.
Punishment of innocent people including
collective punishment cannot be used as
defense of individuals or
groups and will only intensify
suffering and conflict. In every war there
are innocent victims both dead and
scarred whose lives cannot be regained.
The killing of an innocent person cannot
be justified as an act sanctified by God
and Country. All people have the right to
live in safety with dignity and security
free from military occupation. Violence
and war will only cause greater pain and
suffering and reduce future chances for
peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Only through the awareness of human
suffering and the compassion for others
regardless of nationality, race, gender or
religious preference will we bring peace
to the Earth.

Dear Mr Ryan
I hope you have seen my book Preah
Vihear : An Introduction to the World
Heritage Monument published by
UNESCO Office Phnom Penh. The book
is available at Siem Reap Book Store,
Phsar Chas, Siem reap by the side of
Blue Pumpkin. When you are in Siem
reap, please meet me, if I am locally
available. I do not think you would have
any difficulty in going to the site for
painting for 10 or 12 days. When you are
at Sre Aim you can contact the officers
of Preah Vihear Authority. Especially
meet H.E. Hong Soth, Director General
Preah Vihear National Authority. I am
pretty sure he will be convinced of your
project and allow you to sleep at the
mountain top.
I am sending you one email contact
to facilitate your work. Mr Long Kosal
Director Tourism. Preah Vihear
Authority Sincerely Sachchidanand

Dear Professor .S. Sahai
I am an Australian citizen. Tony Nan from
the Apssara Authority in Siem Reap told
me to contact you. He explained you are
the adviser of Preah Vihear authority. I am
an artist and I wish to visit Tear Preahar in
Cambodia and would like to make a painting
on the site of the temple in late September
. I need permission to paint this painting
on the site.We will also have a Cambodian
boy or two taking photographs of the work
while it is being made. It may be exhibited in
META House in Phnom Penh. META house
is part of the German Culture wing of the
Embassy. The art work will have the picture
of the temple on it. There may also be maybe
a picture of the Buddha or some words
connected to peace. I was recently in Siem
Reap as I am hoping to make a children's
Home in the area. We also visited Preah
Vihear with my Cambodia guide for two days
in early June. I was impressed by the temple.
It is beautiful. I would like to undertake in 12
weeks time a painting expedition and make
a painting at the temple site.
I have a small charity and we are hoping
to build a Children’s home in Siem Reap. I
believe the UNESCO listing of Preah Vihear
as an important world cultural heritage site
clearly indicates it is part of Khymer Culture
and the sovereign land of Cambodia. I was
incidentally short listed for a Nobel Peace
Prize some years back.
Thank you and please let me know what
is required to get permission to visit the site
each day to paint. The picture would be on an
easel - maybe 1 meter square. I would be at
Preah Vihear for 12 to 15 days. We would stay
in Sra’aem at a guest house.
Thank you Sincerely Dominic Ryan 5
