webfact Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 PM makes human rights protection a national agenda File photo BANGKOK, 12 February 2018 (NNT) - The Prime Minister has made human rights protection a national agenda, in order to reduce human rights violations in the country. Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said the government aims to protect human rights in order to promote national peace and order, boost credibility in the international community, and create an environment that is suitable for a democratic system of international standards. He said the government has continued to educate the public of their rights and duties and has refrained from infringing upon people's rights. He said the 2017 Constitution enshrines the protection of human dignity, rights and freedoms and individual equality. The government has made human rights a national agenda, in order for state agencies to collaborate in enforcing human rights protection according to international standards. The premier has acknowledged that human rights violations do exist in the country and said the government has continued to crackdown on such violations by clearly identifying sectors that require enforcement and opening channels for people report suspicious activities to the authorities. -- nnt 2018-02-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post z42 Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2018 What about the right to vote free of intimidation, the right to a fair trial, the right to criticise certain persons and institutions.

DNPBC0 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 A minimal start would be for the Junta to comply with the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which Thailand has been a signatory since 1996 and which Thailand ratified in 1997.

plachon Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I suspect that what he forgot to mention that these only apply to human rights with "Thai characteristics".... a pick n'mix "Thai niyom human rights" if you will. Freedom of speech, rights to gather peacefully and electoral democracy will be three of the immediate exclusions, no doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesofa Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is the guy who went off in a huff earlier when being quizzed about the Shinawatra's photo in China. "Prayut Chan-o-cha said the government aims to protect human rights" - that's today's oxymoron. Just about every day recently in the news there's been plenty of oxymoronic (is that a word?) content. I'm just not sure if he's working himself up for a massive April fools joke - he's been doing splendidly so far this month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) This REALLY has hit stratospheric levels of mental illness and delusion: for THIS guy to be spouting about having protected human rights (and clearly believing it) is deeply, deeply, DEEPLY WORRYING. Someone really ought to call in the psychiatrists now, as this individual has VERY serious mental health issues ....

badischer Barde Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh please... where's the difference to Obama talking about peace and justice, then killing hundreds with armed drones, no trial, keeping Guantanamo open and full of people without even a charge. Or Trump talking about taking on "the establishment" and then giving it (and himself) major tax-cuts and deregulations? At least the Thai people didn't vote for their guy. We all did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
