Home » News from Thailand » Short news » Thailand as a rule of law continues to fall on the WJP index
There is a lot wrong with the rule of law in Thailand. This is evident from the annual index of the World Justice Project (WJP). Thailand dropped nine places and is now 56th in the list of 102 countries.
Every year, the World Justice Project measures a large number of countries on eight aspects of the rule of law, such as the absence of corruption, the functioning of criminal law, open government and order and safety.
Thailand's ranking fell after last year's military coup. According to the WJP index, the protection of the fundamental rights of the Thai people has been greatly affected and that is an important factor when it comes to assessing the rule of law.
Denmark scores highest on the list and Venezuela lowest. The Netherlands is in fifth place and scores particularly well thanks to its clear and effective laws, the good accessibility of the law and the independence of the judges. Belgium is in sixteenth place.

Moderator: Please stick to Thailand.
Amazing that there are still expats running away with Prayuth. They are very quiet now...
Dropped nine places is not bad. With a score of 0,52 on a score scale of 0 to 1, it should be clear that Thailand has ended up in a free fall with Prayuth. Even several banana republics have to give way to Thailand when it comes to the rule of law. Amazing, right?
That doesn't surprise me, when I read today that I have to identify myself at the post office when I offer a package, I experience that one step further in this country, or, as recently, the mandatory registration of my telephone number. It is supposedly nothing, but the WJP also notes this, so….
If the criteria above that make the Netherlands worthy of a 5th place would also have been applied to Belgium… that 16th place would be extremely optimistic. I think there are big differences between apparent theory and actual practice. This puts Thailand at a disadvantage and Belgium, among others, benefits. Western countries are simply better at formulating laws and regulations and at applying those criteria by law enforcement and the judiciary that are typically used as yardsticks by Western countries. The extent to which a population in general has to experience justice or injustice is not necessarily proportionate.
So there you have it .
That almost everything is happening here under the new management of Thailand .
The ordinary Thai does not benefit in the judicial field.
If you can even talk about justice at all .
Because whoever has the money (i.e. the established elite) has the right in Thailand.
What surprises me now is why did they drop so quickly in the world rankings.
I thought that the previous governments of the Thaksin families were already bad, but now it appears to be different.
Or am I seeing that wrong.
Jan Beute.
