Thailand still lacks fair, transparent dispute-resolution system 

Good article. The ones who are judging Yingluck are the ones who will not be accountable for their actions in the future.

That’s a big statement.
Yingluck is going through an official legal process. 
Many of the negative posters have conveniently forgotten the actions, attitudes and policies of her very corrupt family.

The irony of the matter is, that I read similar articles 10, five and three years ago, all lamenting and lambasting more or less the same issues. Has anything changed? I don’t think so. Will anything significant change in the near future? I doubt it very much.

It’s easy with the benefit of hindsight to see which policies worked and which did not. The rice pledging was a failure in its implementation, but a good idea in principle – though corrupt local and regional officials should be taking much of the blame, not just a politically expedient single politician. Time will tell which of Prayut’s policies turn out to be an abject failure. Having given himself total immunity, he of course doesn’t need to worry about the consequences though.

With the notable difference that the world bank and other organisations told her that it was not sustainable, and that the government official who came out with figures showing that it went wrong was bullied and transferred, and that the democrats who showed rotten rice were threatened with police action for theft. She chaired it, never showed up, said there was no corruption. But her own highest ministers were in on fake G2G deals (selling rice to a a company supposed to represent China, when the rice never left the warehouses and was sold back into the system). So yes, this is not just a case of a failed project, but a project she was warned about by reputable organisations, and where, when it became clear it was making a loss as everyone was saying, she tried to bully people and suppress information. She also let happen corruption that was pointed out to her, yet kept insisting there was no corruption.

The root of the problem is that there isn’t a fair, transparent, predictable and widely accepted way of dealing with this (and other) issues in the justice system. Also, some face the justice system while others have a free pass.
Thailand needs a dispute resolution system agreed to by all, and it doesn’t have one. Until there is some sort of resolution to this question, the troubles will continue.
