DSI holds special course on how to treat human trafficking victims

BANGKOK, 11 June 2014, (NNT) - In a bid to show the international community Thailand's efforts to eradicate the issue of human trafficking, The Department of Special Investigation is holding a class for officials on how to treat victims of the crime.

Acting Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), Police General Chatchawan Suksomjit, said the campaign is a joint project of the UNODC and the DSI, saying victim treatment is part of the department’s ongoing efforts to eliminate human trafficking problems in Thailand.

Participants would learn how to provide proper care for traumatized victims in line with the international practice, which may help officials bringing traffickers to justice.

Currently, human trafficking rings use Thailand as their origin, passage way, and destination.

According to him, for over 4 years, the United States has put the kingdom under its category 2 watchlist, meaning Thailand is trying to address the issue with little success.

If the issue is left unattended, the U.S. may decide to downgrade the nation to category 3, which indicates that Thailand is neglecting the problem. The move will undoubtedly affect the nation’s economic affairs with the U.S.

He added that the department would deploy strict measures and report its progress to the U.S., in order to show the kingdom’s sincerity in eradicating the issue.

DSI should also run courses on how to conduct investigations with an application of urgency rather than the usual summoning people sometime before they die.

perhaps urgency and balance...

I would think the DSI staff are treading very carefully now the country is under new management

I think its a matter of urgency as Thailand is yet again exposed in the international media front for the wrong reasons.

Difficult to ignore the facts, and certainly they can't bury their heads in the sand on this one.

Seems that EU & US may impose sanctions if Thailand does not change their wicked ways.

Some 21 million people worldwide are in forced labour with migrant workers most vulnerable.
Over half of all forced labourers work in Asia, with 18% in Africa and almost 10% in Latin America.

If the governments of the developed countries (and their people) would be serious with their threats towards
nations who allow slave labour, sure a big proportion of those slave laborers would have a better life but then
what westerners would want to miss exotic food, cheap clothing and electronics?

.........

How often and for how many years have they threatened to impose sanctions and nothing happen?

Now that this appalling behavior has been exposed, perhaps consumer pressure will demand slave-free products. Besides, Thailand is already on the US watch list. If they are downgraded to tier 3 then the game is over for the country.

The FBI reports more than 100 thousand children are forced into the sex trade in the US every year...

Who...or what country...is holding the US accountable for their own human trafficking problems...?

Perhaps they could hold a special course for DSI staff on how to track down and apprehend those who shoot and throw grenades at protesters.

I would think the army could help them, perhaps even take them out of their air con offices and give them some practical experience.

This Thai course for human trafficking victims will be sure to show the world that Thailand is dead serious about eliminating human trafficking in Thailand from the top. A fish stinks from the head. When the Thais initiate a program to haul off the Thai Mr. Bigs and bank money laundering VPs, the the world may notice something positive being done.
