The draft guidelines, which are based on information gathered from experts during a workshop early this year, are now ready as the government is treating the anti-human trafficking mission as an urgent national agenda. AAPTIP has helped Thailand with preparing the draft guidelines. “The guidelines aim to ensure efficient legal enforcement and transparency in legal proceedings where human-trafficking cases are concerned.”The draft guidelines have already taken into account common obstacles that police often run into when solving human-trafficking cases. “The guidelines would become an ultimate manual and standard for police to efficiently deal with human-trafficking cases. With the guidelines, proceedings by the National Police Office will be in line with international standards,” Tamasak said.
