TotallyOz Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 PHUKET: The World Justice Project (WJP) ranked Thailand 80th among 97 countries in delivering effective civil justice in its international Rule of Law Index 2012 report issued on Wednesday. However, despite the low ranking in dispensing civil justice, the report also recognized Thailand’s strong performance in the control of crime and in serving criminal justice. According to the report, “Thailand earns high marks on absence of crime and effectiveness of the criminal justice system (ranking 35th globally and seventh among its income peers). However, civil conflict and political violence are significant problems… “The country’s lowest scores are in the dimension of civil justice (ranking 80th), partly because of delays in processing cases and difficulties in enforcing court decisions.” The report noted that Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore lead the East Asia & Pacific region in most dimensions of the rule of law. http://www.phuketgazette.net/thailandnews/2012/Thailand-News-World-Justice-report-ranks-Kingdom-80th-in-serving-civil-justice-19602.html http://worldjusticeproject.org/rule-of-law-index/ Quote
