BANGKOK: -- At an audience granted to the newly sworn-in Supreme Court judges, His Majesty yesterday told them to strictly adhere to the principles of justice to maintain peace, happiness and orderliness in the country.

"Each and every one of you is really important in ensuring orderliness. You are the hope of the people, both good and bad. You can help increase the number of good people," the King said before a gathering of 168 judges.

In a ceremony led by Supreme Court president, Sopchok Sukharom, the judges were sworn-in during the 20-minute audience with His Majesty at Siriraj Hospital.

"If you maintain justice, the country will be peaceful. Even bandits and villains hope for justice. You could make troublemakers do good things too. It's better than having no symbol of justice," His Majesty said, adding the judges could bring happiness and peace to the country by simply being just when performing their duties.

"You are a symbol of justice. And by performing your duty well, you can help the country survive. Everyone wants our country to survive. Even the bandits and villains feel they want peace. If you can have your compatriots believe in peace, happiness and justice, our country will work fine," His Majesty said.

He also told the judges that they should stick to the principles of justice to their dying day, even when they are no longer in the judiciary.
