BANGKOK, 4 Feb 2015 (NNT) – Deputy PM and Foreign Affairs
Minister Supreme Commander General Thanasak Pratimakorn has clarified
the world’s doubts about human rights situation in Thailand, during the
2015 session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
During his speech to foreign leaders, Supreme Commander General Thanasak
stressed that the Thai government did regard human rights of all groups
of people, including children, women, the elderly, the
physically-challenged or alien workers, as the top priority.
To ease global concerns over the treatment of illegal workers, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke of the successful campaign which led
to the registration of 1.6 million alien workers who will from now on
enjoy access to proper welfare under the humanitarian practice. His
statement was said to have won appreciation from participating
countries.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in addition, took the opportunity to
discuss future cooperation with top-ranking officials of the United
Nations such as the Director General of the International Organization
for Migration, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as well as
foreign leaders and ministers.
General Thanasak also said he is ready to cooperate with all related agencies.
