webfact Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Public group to study impact of junta's actions after 2014 coup By THE NATION Anusorn Tamajai A committee of people from different walks of life plans to study the impact of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)’s actions, and its use of power under Article 44 of the 2014 post-coup interim constitution. Associate for Democratic Constitution (ADC) is forming a committee, its chairman of the executive committee, Anusorn Tamajai, said on Thursday (December 12). “Also, the committee will study the impact and suitability of laws issued by the National Legislative Assembly,” he added. The committee will consist of academics, public servants, entrepreneurs and people who were affected by the use of Article 44, and also politicians of government and the opposition, human rights activists, and representatives of democratic organisations. This committee will work with relevant committees of Parliament to help those who were affected by the article in several aspects, namely, unfair prosecution, economy, environment and community, violation of human rights and dignity, and political management. “The last aspect covers unfair transfers and deposition of government officers,” Anusorn added. Moreover, ADC wants the committee to study constitutional amendments, to clarify its time frame in studying an amendment, and has asked the government to depute six personnel with a positive attitude towards constitutional amendments to be the commission’s members. “If the deputed personnel are not open-minded and oppose amendments to the Constitution from the beginning, the committee will be just a mechanism to extend a period of semi-democracy in Thailand,” he added. In addition, ADC said that, “If the case of the Future Forward Party is not supported by logical reason, it will lead to a disbelief in democracy in Thailand under the 2017 Constitution, which is a risk factor for the economy and investments next year.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30379364 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2019-12-13 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutz Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 2 hours ago, webfact said: six personnel with a positive attitude towards constitutional amendments 555, good luck with that. The generals and other junta friends won't like anything changed (except perhaps giving them back more power beyond the inappropriate powers they already have in this sham democracy).

Sure, but don't poo poo any attempts to get more attention on the wrong doings and hopefully, at least, better awareness and deeper understandings of their unethical actions. It will need to be step by step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Anusorn, why bother, do you actually think little P and his cronies care? You will not change anything, so-called government only care about making money for themselves. People in the country, ha, let them starve, we need more expensive watches.

What are they trying to achieve?Are they suggesting that Thailand is still under a Dictatorship?If they are suggesting Thailand is under a dictatorship then that may be perceived by some to be making a problem for Thailand and when you are a trouble maker in Thailand you get well and truly squished just like in a dictatorship but Thailand is not under a dictatorship it is a Democracy with free speech!You have the freedom to say what ever you want just as the administration has the freedom to do whatever it wants to you for saying it.

So, no clout and will be ignored then I agree with the no clout part but I think careful notes will be taken as to what is said and by whom because that is what administrations that are not dictatorships do to protect national security and as we all know national security is very important in a democracy that isn't a dictatorship!

emptypockets Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I wonder how many long term non Thai non immigrants will be consulted? Basic human rights affects them too as evidenced by the many posts on this forum about families apparently being forcibly broken up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
