Thailand's Lawyers Council opposes juristic group's move
BANGKOK, September 27 (TNA) - The Lawyers Council of Thailand under the Royal Patronage issued a statement Tuesday, the second of its kind, expressing its opposition to a juristic group's proposal on toppling decisions and consequences of the administrative power and the judicial institution in the wake of the country's military coup on September 19, 2006.
The council's president, Sak Kosaengruang, said in the statement although the Lawyers Council of Thailand disagreed with the 2006 military coup, as it disrupted the country's democratic rule under the revered monarchy, it opposes the administrative authority overshadowing Thai political parties and financially influenzing local media and independent bodies prior to the military intervention, leaving the administrative power unchecked and corrupt.
Sak insisted that the administrative power and the judicial institution's decisions and consequences in the wake of the 2006 coup were considered attributing to public interests and societal peace and order, and that the Lawyers Council of Thailand, therefore, opposes the juristic group's move to absolutely nullify the military-backed decisions and actions, including those of the now-defunct Assets Examination Committees (AEC), in which he was a member.
The Lawyers Council's chief cautioned that the juristic group's proposal, including an idea to reinstate a previous Constitution, could cause a ideological rift in the Thai society and solely benefit former politicians, rather than promoting societal justice and national solidarity, suggesting, the amendment of the present 2007 Charter instead for, what he considers, the maximum public and national interests.
