Issue of policy and law concerning thailand's possible accession to the convention on the prohibitions or restrictions on the use of certain conventional weapons which may be deemed to be excessively injurious or to have indiscriminate effects 1980
Abstract:
Certain Conventional Weapons have been used in conflicts for a long time and have affected international society until now. Ideas have thus emerged during the past 200 years to regulate the use of such weapons. Especially, at present, there is the Convention on Prohibition or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which may be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to have Indiscriminate Effects 1980. Many States have paid attention to and acceded to the Convention. The treaty regulate the use of Certain Conventional Weapons effciently in the international setting. In order to accede to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which may be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to have Indiscriminate Effects 1980, it is necessary to take account of related obligations, prescriptions of law other supportive processes. However, after analyzing the obligations of the Convention together with the prescriptions of domestic law in regard to the said matter, it can be concluded that domestic laws and factors in Thailand have still not responded to the need for efficient implementation of the obligations in accordance with the mentioned Convention. Therefore, consideration should be given to the need to amend the prescriptions of law and other supportive process, as well as the establishment of new organizations where required, in order to be able to comply with the obligations of the Convention and to be with the principles of the Convention targeted to effective implementation.
