Justice reform will also include military justice: reform committee

By The Nation

 

A justice reform committee said on Friday that justice processes and mechanisms concerning the military regime would also be subject to the new reform effort.

 

Lt-General Krisana Bovornrattanaraksa, who sits on the justice reform committee, said the military court, military prosecutors and other justice processes and mechanisms, would be subject to reform along with other justice elements, because the nation is going through a major reform process.

 

The committee on Friday revealed its work updating justice reform, as addressed in the new reform law, which is supposed to be submitted in December along with other 10 works of reform to the government for long-term implementation

 

Atchaporn Jaruchinda, the committee’s chair, said the committee would cover seven aspects of justice in its reform agenda. First, work procedures within justice related agencies must have a timeframe so that people can follow up. Second, there must be mechanisms to support the underprivileged to better access justice. Third, there must be mechanisms to ensure equality in regard to justice.

 

Fourth, there must be mechanisms related to law enforcement. Fifth, there must be improvements in investigations and checks and balances between investigators and prosecutors. Sixth, there must be the introduction of forensic science in helping investigations, and lastly, there must be an overhaul of justice culture to improve the quality of personal justice.

 

Atchaporn said the committee would develop proposals accordingly and submit them to the government in December for long-term implementation as required by law.

In Thailand, 'military justice' is about as meaningful as 'military music'.

 

As long as the military keeps investigating itself, as well as rendering verdict(s) on itself, there will be no justice.

 

Waste of time and money.

it is a dysfunctional place

In theory, items one through seven they have it correct. In practice none of it will be implemented, as those up the ladder, will always use their position to influence proceedings. I suspect all of us will have been dead many a year before anything approaching real justice comes to Thailand.

A reform committee, a bunch of cronies and a big budget.

More evidence that their is no election even on the distant horizon. Why would a country go through major reform processes that might not fit comfortably with a newly elected democratic government? There are umpteen 20 year plans created by Prayut, a number of reform processes which would take many years to implement but all of which could be dismantled by a new incoming democratic government. So what's the point if the junta is not intending to stay for the long haul?

I don t see the point for military justice reforms as they gave themselves an amnesty blanket for past,present, and future investigations

Rule of law is missing from the statement as is due process.

Ahhhh the negativity.....

Here we go they have revived the word mechanism's once again. It must have been a stand out in the dictionary lol.

Just nutters that are not capable of reforming a 1 month working bar girl. More committees than the elderly bowls clubs. Give us a spell please

No post about this from Steven 100 so far? I hope he was not arrested for taking Prayut's portrait off the wall.
