This policy paper, published by the Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) and Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR), presents critical insights into Thailand’s struggle for justice and human rights following a decade of political violence and repression. Based on qualitative research, including interviews with victims, activists, and civil society members, it examines the impact of state violence, structural injustices, and legal mechanisms used to suppress dissent. Utilizing Johan Galtung’s Violence Triangle and Transitional Justice principles, the study provides policy recommendations centered on truth-seeking, reparations, prosecution, and institutional reform. It calls for independent investigations into human rights violations, fair judicial processes, an end to impunity for state actors, and the repeal of repressive laws. The report serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, human rights defenders, and scholars advocating for democratic accountability and a peaceful transition to justice in Thailand.
