Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, Located in the area of Angkor. Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction. These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a "precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art." (Wikipedia)

The United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) was a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Cambodia in 1992–93 formed following the 1991 Paris Peace Accords. This was the first occasion in which the UN directly assumed responsibility for the administration of an outright independent state, rather than simply monitoring or supervising the area. The UN transitional authority organized and ran elections, had its own radio station and jail, and was responsible for promoting and safeguarding human rights at the national level.


This set was issued on August 4, 1993. The designs are based on posters issued and distributed by the UNTAC:

Preah Vihear Temple is an ancient Khmer temple built during the period of the Khmer Empire, that is situated on the top of a 525-metre cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains, in the Preah Vihear province, Cambodia.

In 1962, following a lengthy dispute between Cambodia and Thailand over ownership, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ruled that the temple is in Cambodia. To commemorate the first anniversary of the ICJ decision, Cambodia issued this set of stamps, designed and engraved by Georges Bétemps, on June 15, 1963:



The Preah Vihear Temple appears on several Cambodian banknotes. Here is one of them from 2007:
