BANGKOK, 10 August 2015 – The Supreme Court has introduced three new divisions set up specifically to deal with issues affecting the nation’s security and economy.
According to the Supreme Court President, Direk Ingkaninanthe (ดิเรก อิงคนินันท์), the three newly opened divisions include those dealing with human trafficking, illegal drug, and government official’s misconduct cases.
The three divisions will be jointly operated by prosecutors, the Royal Thai Police, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and the Thai courts.
They will also form a comprehensive network of human trafficking prevention, and raise the standards of legal processes to meet the international criteria.
These issues have taken a heavy toll on Thailand’s reputation globally and compromised the nation’s security. Serious actions should be taken to eliminate these problems, Mr. Direck said.
