Anti-Corruption
Importance and Mission
“Corruption” is one of the most challenging issues in Thailand. It is a systematic problem that arises from a combination of factors including the patronage system that is deeply embedded in Thai society, inefficient law enforcement, weak governance in the public sector, and the general acceptance that corruption is part of the Thai way of life. The eradication of corruption from Thailand cannot rely solely on government mechanisms. There must be coordination and cooperation from all parties, including the private sector. To build everyone's confidence and trust, everyone must be treated equally, fairly, ethically, and free from bribes or unjust biases based on fundamental human rights principles.
