Gen Prayut affirms govt's commitment towards human rights policies

 

BANGKOK, 12 September 2017 (NNT) - Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has affirmed the government's commitment to protecting human rights via its justice system, creating equality and reducing social conflict.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut-Chan-o-cha delivered a keynote address on mobilizing human rights policies for 2018-19 according to the Thailand 4.0 agenda for sustainable development. He affirmed the government's commitment to addressing human rights issues and raising the standard of human rights in the country. Agencies will be tasked with following up on reports of human rights violations, summarizing issues, and providing solutions and regular progress reports. 

The premier also stressed that human rights policies must be held to international standards and that the justice system must serve as a channel for equal access to protection under the law. Law enforcement agencies must be careful not to violate the rights of citizens while performing their duties and must instill awareness among all sectors regarding the principles of human rights in order to reduce conflict and create peace and reconciliation in society. 

Gen Prayut also talked about the government's "4+3+2+1" agenda for creating peace in society. The agenda consists of "creating" in four areas awareness, a follow-up system, innovation, and networks; "adjusting" in three areas databases, attitudes, and legislation; "mobilizing" local agencies and the country's human rights agenda; and "reducing" human rights violations.

...Do as I say, not as I do...

Did someone just slap me with a wet noodle?  Is this really really true?

Might want to talk to the people in this so called justice system, (judges spring to mind). They seem to be at the top of the list for handing out injustice! They do what they are told, they do not follow the laws of this country, and innocents rot in prison.

"Prime Minister Gen Prayut-Chan-o-cha delivered a keynote address on mobilizing human rights policies for 2018-19 according to the Thailand 4.0 agenda for sustainable development."

 

They always start to sneakily sliding dates into unrelated events then when elections are suddenly delayed nobody's that surprised. Remember the "20 year plan" they were on about a few years back?

In the Thailand we all know ?  Dream on !

"Are you pissed or high"?

[Baerboxer]

Noble sentiments and fine words, sir.

 

Now if the justice system will protect human rights, then it must be robust, fit for purpose and above all, unbiased in it's applications.

 

So we can expect some big reforms then?

They are very familiar with bribery. After all they had to buy their position on the Bench by bribing someone higher up the ladder of "justice".

Thus it is important they get a good return on their investment from those who can afford and need to buy justice.

So how about the continuing use of warrantless searches under

Article 44?

 

Or allowing private parties to bring criminal defamation cases in a legal system where truthfullness is not an absolute defense?

 

How does that fit with intl standards??

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

And meanwhile in other news, David Duke pledged his continued commitment to building a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society where all peoples are equal...

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

This won't happen any day soon.Still a few decades away for sure if not more.

[Lupatria]

It's time to stop this Goebbelism. It reminds me on Don McLean's "Empty Chairs"

 

And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would

Never thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant...

[Happyman58]

Peace is kept by the gun

[wakeupplease]

human rights policies must be held to international standards

 

Another load of brownstuff aimed at the outside world like the UN and other governments trying to get them to think that is what is happening here, when in fact political persecution is at  the top of his list.

[Cadbury]

Plenty of things that Thai citizens can complain about to the UN Human Rights Commission. If they have the resolve to challenge the might of the military generals.

[Yann55]

 

Ah. Human Rights. Good.

 

Why don't they start with the two Burmese guys who are currently rotting in jail (and awaiting capital punishment, no less) as scapegoats, after a totally botched investigation and a grossly inequitable trial, due in no marginal part to the fact that a certain Prime Minister stated, before the investigation even started, that 'no Thai person could do such a thing', and thereafter wholeheartedly supported the police 'findings', all along, even though the media outcry was deafening.

 

Oh, wait, I forgot, he hates the media unconditionally because they don't do and say what they're told to do and say, like good soldiers ... so whatever they claim, on whatever topic, can only be fake.

 

 

[Media1]

This guy is the number 1 human rights violator. That uses rubbish laws such as defamation  that is actually also used by government agencies lol. A law used to protect corrupt government officials and the Lese law is a joke.

This article is not even laughable. A man that believes the Thai justice system is sound should immediately retire and seek medical examination

Except the right to self-determination.

The same guy who likened uighers to animals is all about human rights now?
