webfact Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Tanakorn Sangiam BANGKOK (NNT) - The government’s Anti-Human Trafficking Committee has approved a plan that extends human trafficking to illegal crossings, while providing immediate protection to trafficking victims. The Thai government has broadened the terms of human trafficking to cover the act of bringing people across borders illegally, while providing better protection to trafficking victims. In an annual meeting of related committees on human trafficking prevention and suppression, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan, the committees emphasized the resolution of situations at hand and prevent potential future consequences. The committees emphasized an improvement in cybercrime suppression related to children and youths; the prevention of human trafficking in the labor sector, and protection of migrant workers. The committees aim to raise the level of their work to an internationally recognized standard, in terms of the capabilities of relevant officials, the protection of trafficking victims, and prosecution of government officials involved in human trafficking. The committees have on this occasion agreed to extend the official terms of human trafficking to include the act of bringing people into the kingdom without authorization. On this occasion, DPM Gen Prawit emphasized the government’s intention to eliminate human trafficking as part of the national agenda, which should proceed in full force despite the spread of COVID-19. He said the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, now has the responsibility to provide immediate protection to trafficking victims regardless of their nationality, while cases involving forced labour and human trafficking should be distinctly differentiated. The Ministry of Labour will be encouraging all employers to register their migrant workers in a timely manner, while ensuring no government officials are involved in corruption. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-07-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted July 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2021 They have been tackling human trafficking for over 10 years and it just seems to get worse and worse as more and more migrants are trafficked into the country. As you can see by the latest lockdown in Bangkok and other areas the illegals migrants that had no documentation were then discarded by the companies they were working for rather than the company getting caught. At this point in time Thailand should be doing a mass amnesty and certifying and registering all migrants in the country and providing documentation to them. The way it currently stands is that they are no better off than Stateless people and are used and abused. Still much to do with the trafficking of migrants into the fisheries and onto boats in the waters as well. Today slavery is an even bigger money maker than it was hundreds of years ago, and yet during the woke madness anyone who had been linked to the trade had their names taken off buildings and statues removed or destroyed regardless of their contributions to society. This country thrives on illegal workers and as such in the past has found and convicted many, but the problem is endemic and the corruption is high. 1 hour ago, webfact said: On this occasion, DPM Gen Prawit emphasized the government’s intention to eliminate human trafficking as part of the national agenda, which should proceed in full force despite the spread of COVID-19. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti human trafficking here, joke absolute joke, and the above photo of the BIGGEST joke of them all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 As with all kinds of crime (drugs, gambling, prostitution, animal trafficking), it’s just too lucrative and too much of a money making opportunity for those in power to put a stop to it. So some token efforts will be made, some lower level criminals arrested and convicted, but the big fish will be left alone to continue doing what they do and to keep sending big fat brown envelopes up the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advocatus Diaboli Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 No, the Thai law makers and shakers won’t go after the human traffickers, but the will go after the alcohol producers and bars. Making laws to raid without warrants and fine at will (though we know majority of fine money goes straight into a brown suit pocket). And Thai Government is surprisingly surprised when their status was downgraded by the United States. One whole year and no arrests of any big shots who bring the people into Thailand. There obviously is a huge purchase of brown envelopes somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
