Reconciliation law possibility if discussion parties deadlock: Prawit
Play
Legal enactment for a new law to facilitate reconciliation is possible if parties invited to discuss the issue end up deadlocked, said Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan on Thursday.
General Prawit said his reconciliation committee planned to boost the number of academics from as many fields as possible to sit on the committee.
He said the committee would brainstorm on 10 principal issues aimed at fostering co-existence among divided parties. Afterwards, the committee will hold a public hearing to gauge the views of the public before proceeding further, he said.
General Prawit expected that the process would take around three months. He downplayed concerns that the discussions will not yield any fruitful outcomes, saying the committee expected a positive result.
