Thailand - June 15, 2016

AIP Foundation attended a seminar with other involved stakeholders to consider amending the Land Traffic Act of 1979. The focus for the changes center on instituting new penalties and fines for those who disobey the law, whether that be in the form of speeding, drink-driving, or violating parking rules. These changes are intended to improve the safety of the roads in Thailand, which are currently the second most deadly in the world.

Lt. Gen. Adul Srihiran acted as chairman of the seminar. In addition to representatives of AIP Foundation and its affiliated Legal Development Program, other attendees included the legal working group of the Royal Thai Police and collected academics and experts in the field of Thai law.
