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.
