Thai court removes PM over leaked phone call with Cambodian leader

Thai court removes PM over leaked phone call with Cambodian leader

The Thai Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office due to a leaked phone call with Cambodian leader Hun Sen. The court ruled that Shinawatra's use of the term "uncle" when addressing Hun Sen shortly before a border conflict between the two countries breached ethical standards. The decision comes as a significant political development in Thailand, where Shinawatra's family has long been a dominant political force. The court's ruling suggests a growing focus on upholding ethical standards in the country's political landscape. The case highlights the delicate nature of diplomatic relations and the potential consequences of perceived improper conduct, even in private conversations. The ruling is likely to have far-reaching implications for the country's political landscape and the future of Shinawatra's political ambitions.
