Southern Border Provinces Development Policy, 2012-2014

(13/02/2012)

The National Security Office has come up with the southern border provinces development policy to be implemented from 2012 to 2014.

The Secretary-General of the Office of the National Security Council, Police General Vichean Potephosree, said that the policy emphasized the participation of all sectors of Thai society.

He revealed that members of civil society organizations and the Advisory Council on the Administration and Development of Southern Border Provinces also took part in drafting this policy, which would be used as the direction for resolving problems in the deep South.

Police General Vichean said that the policy is divided into two parts, comprising both security and development strategies. It states that the Internal Security Operations Command must adjust its plans and operations in line with this policy. The Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center will be instructed to follow the three-year policy in working out its strategies. All relevant agencies will also apply this policy to its operations in a systematic manner.

According to Police General Vichean, the Southern Border Provinces Development Policy for 2012-2014 aims to eliminate all negative conditions that might be used by perpetrators as a pretext to initiate acts of violence. It will be translated into action, based on His Majesty the King’s wise advice to “understand, reach out, and develop” and the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy, advocated by His Majesty to lead to well-balanced and sustainable development.

In addition, he said, the policy seeks to deal effectively with southern unrest through peaceful means, decentralization of administrative power, respect for human rights, and the rule of law. It calls on all members of society to join hands in handling the southern situation and all relevant agencies to work on southern problems in an integrated manner. This close cooperation was cited as the key to lasting peace in the southern border provinces.

Apart from striving to make the southern border provinces free from the conditions that might lead to violence, the Government will create a favorable atmosphere for the settlement of the southern conflicts through non-violence. Moreover, all sectors of society will be provided with better understanding of the situation and will be encouraged to participate in the peace-building process.

Police General Vichean pointed out that another emphasis involves the tackling of unrest through the principles of reconciliation and harmonization. In this regard, those who had been misled into creating unrest would be sent for training before being released to lead their normal life, so that they would be able to reintegrate into society.
