Postbag: Justice for whom?
News, Published on 22/02/2014
» It’s difficult to understand the judicial process in Thailand. Recently we have seen the Election Commission set re-election dates for April 28 despite the fact that it would appear that the constitution mandates that a new government must be formed within 30 days of an election. Then we hear that the Civil Court has said that the government cannot use force to dispel protesters in Bangkok, despite the fact that it appears that shots were fired and explosives used by protesters which resulted in the death of a policeman. It seems that many of the judgements are not based on just on the law but what the court considers best for Thailand. This is clearly outside their mandate. They should rule on the law, regardless of the outcome. After all, at the time Thaksin Shinawatra was accused of hiding assets in 2001, if the law had been strictly applied, he would surely have been found guilty, in which case the whole era of Thaksin would not have happened.
