Special judicial divisions to combat three crimes
Play
The Criminal Court's special divisions on human trafficking, corruption and misconduct of state officials, as well as narcotics, were officially launched Monday.
These divisions have been created to ensure cases related to these three crimes can be tried effectively, the Criminal Court’s chief judge Athip Chitsamrerng said.
The move comes as part of moves to reform the process of prosecuting human-trafficking cases after the United States decided to keep Thailand on the lowest level of its Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, suggesting that the Kingdom’s work on combating human trafficking was not effective enough.
