LEGAL MEASURES TO PROTECT TREATMENT TOWARDS LGBTQ PEOPLE UNDER THE LAW ON GENDER EQUALITY ACT

Tiwakorn Tanyakul — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research aims to propose legal measures to safeguard the rights and fair treatment of LGBTQ individuals under the Gender Equality Act. It seeks to provide legal protection for the rights of LGBTQ people through an analysis of documentary research, including books, statutory texts, legal articles, academic works, research reports, theses, websites, and other documents related to the rights of LGBTQ individuals. The study reveals that LGBTQ individuals face systemic discrimination based on gender, manifested through acts of violence and harm against their life and physical integrity. Such acts are often motivated by hatred stemming from the victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Current legal frameworks lack specific provisions to address and criminalize these offenses adequately. The research recommends the introduction of specific legal measures that define such acts as distinct criminal offenses and impose appropriate penalties. Specifically, it suggests amending the Gender Equality Act, B.E.2558 (2015) by revising Chapter 6 (Penalties) to establish criminal liability for acts of physical assault and murder motivated by hatred toward LGBTQ individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Additionally, the term "for hatred" should be explicitly defined in Section 3 to enhance legal clarity and effectiveness. These amendments would align with the intent of the Act to provide comprehensive protection for LGBTQ individuals, ensuring their rights are genuinely safeguarded under the law.

DEVELOPMENT OF TORT LIABILITY LAWS ON DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE VICTIMS

Chudtapong Chuedee — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigated the evolution of tort liability laws concerning compensation for emotional distress suffered by victims’ relatives or close associates due to wrongful acts. Given the profound psychological consequences of tortious conduct, legal frameworks should adequately address emotional harm as a compensable category.

The study employed qualitative research methods, including document analysis, expert interviews, and public opinion surveys. Findings indicated that the Civil and Commercial Code of Thailand lacked explicit provisions for compensating emotional distress, despite recognition of such claims in the Product Liability Act (2008). The absence of clear legal standards resulted in inconsistent adjudication of emotional harm claims.

To address these gaps, the study recommended amending Sections 420 and 446 of the Civil and Commercial Code to explicitly define compensation mechanisms for emotional distress. These legal revisions would enhance clarity, ensure equitable remedies, and align Thai tort law with contemporary social and psychological understandings of emotional harm.

LEGAL PROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES IN MUTUAL ASSISTANCE IN CRIMINAL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION OF TORTURE AND ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCE

Orasa Kongka — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study examined legal issues and obstacles concerning international cooperation in criminal matters under Sections 9 and 13 of the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act B.E. 2565 (2022). A documentary research method was employed, analyzing legal texts, scholarly articles, research papers, and relevant statutory provisions. Comparative legal analysis was conducted to evaluate inconsistencies between Thai legal frameworks, international law, and foreign legislative models, culminating in recommendations for legal reform.
Findings revealed that Sections 9 and 13 of the Act conflicted with the principles of state sovereignty and international legal cooperation in criminal matters. Specifically, the Act's extradition exceptions extended beyond political offenses to include additional categories, such as offenses under military law, printing regulations, and religious statutes. Furthermore, extradition considerations must account for the requesting state’s death penalty policies, diplomatic immunity, and refugee status. Decisions regarding deportation, repatriation, or extradition remained at the discretion of the requested state, contingent on the offense's nature, bilateral agreements, and national interests.
The study recommends incorporating a precise definition of "political offenses" into Section 3 of the Act to ensure legal clarity. Additionally, Sections 9 and 13 should be amended to better align with principles of state sovereignty, international legal cooperation, and national security interests.
