Legal Problem Relating to the Dissemination of Sexually Inappropriate Still or Moving Images of Private Person for Revenge

Apichaya Jariyaprom — 2025-06-29

The act of distributing sexually inappropriate still or moving images of a private person for the purpose of revenge causes a number of problems. In addition, it directly affects victims’ privacy rights to control the disclosure of their bodies and certain behaviors to others. It also greatly impacts society regarding the threat to personal rights, which are important basic rights of every human being and deserve protection. Moreover, it also causes other offenders to follow through with imitation behavior, which affects the peace and order and good morals of society.

From a study of the laws of the United Kingdom and the laws of Japan, it was found that specific provisions have been enacted to impose criminal liability for the act of distributing sexually explicit still or moving images of private persons for the purpose of revenge. Meanwhile, in Thailand, no law has been enacted to specifically enforce the act of distributing sexually explicit still images or private movies for revenge, like the laws of the United Kingdom and the laws of Japan. Therefore, this may result in gaps in the law to apply to such offenses.

Because the State has an obligation to the people to respect, protect, and promote the people’s human rights by preventing any person from having their human rights violated by another person. This includes establishing adequate preventive measures against threats to individual human rights. The act of distributing sexually inappropriate still images or private movies for revenge is a serious violation of the victim’s right to privacy. It is also an action that deserves to be criticized, causes damage to society as a whole, and is contrary to public order and good morals. Therefore, it should be appropriate to enact a legal provision that specifically provides liability for the offense of distributing inappropriate personal stills or moving images of a sexual nature for revenge to clearly define the elements of the offense and determine the punishment appropriate to the said offense.

An Administrative Order Addressing Something that is Explicit and Serious Error

Kritiya Sukperm — 2025-06-29

An administrative order, which involves the exercise of administrative power by an administrative agency or state official, impacts the rights, duties, or status of individuals in specific cases and must comply with legal principles. Administrative orders that are clearly and severely erroneous due to flaws related to the integrity of the conditions of such orders are subject to judicial review by the Administrative Court to protect the rights and freedoms of those under the jurisdiction of the order. Individuals who have the right to claim these clearly and severely erroneous aspects may include parties to the case or those under the jurisdiction of the order who have been notified by the official. Even the officials who issue administrative orders or those authorized to consider appeals of such orders can bring up these errors in the methods and timing of the claims. Regardless of how long it has been, such claims always lack legal effect on the administrative orders, preventing any binding legal consequences from arising from the intention expressed in the administrative order. Those affected can invoke the utter futility or nonexistence of an administrative order at any time without limitation. The concept of clear and severe errors in administrative orders should be further developed and established as concrete normative guidelines.

Natthaphat Samansap — 2025-06-29

The article aims to study the Importance of Mediation Processes in Criminal Cases of Domestic Violence, Including Mediators and Dispute Conciliators, and Support Workers in the Juvenile and Family Court System According to the victims of domestic violence protection act, B.E. 2550. This study examines both domestic and international laws concerning the mediation of criminal cases involving domestic violence perpetrators and legal measures implemented post-enforcement of domestic violence laws in conjunction with court police officers. The aim is to ensure that the mediation process and the work of mediators and dispute conciliators in such criminal cases are effective and capable of genuinely resolving conflicts. Due to the issues in enforcing the victims of domestic violence protection act, B.E. 2550 and the challenges faced by mediators and dispute conciliators in Thailand, several problems persist. These include the underreporting of domestic violence criminal cases to the Juvenile and Family Court despite the rising incidence of domestic violence, reflecting a paradox. Furthermore, there are issues with not referring domestic violence criminal cases to the mediation and conciliation process, involving individuals without the necessary knowledge and skills in the mediation process, and the legal issues that arise from post-mediation measures. Additionally, there is a lack of provisions for court police officers to assist in supporting judges in the supervision, oversight, and assistance of these legal measures. This support is crucial to ensure that the agreements to resolve domestic violence achieved through mediation are peaceful and orderly. From the study, it was found that the victims of domestic violence protection act, B.E. 2550 should be revised to promote and support the mediation process for criminal cases, including section 5 and 6 which do not allow the public to access justice in criminal cases of domestic violence as it mandates that complaints be filed only through officials, section 15 which does not mandate that domestic violence criminal cases be referred to the Juvenile and Family Court's mediation process at the first hearing, resulting in parties not having sufficient opportunities for conciliation, the first paragraph of Section 16, which allows individuals without the necessary knowledge, such as parents, guardians, or relatives of the parties, to participate in mediation, thereby reducing its effectiveness and consistency and section 5 of the Court Police Officer Act B.E. 2562, which does not grant court police officers in the Juvenile and Family Court significant roles in supporting post-enforcement legal measures of the Domestic Violence Victim Protection Act, which are outcomes of mediation. The author believes that the laws studied still have issues in the mediation process for criminal cases and lack effectiveness in legal measures following the enforcement of such laws resulting from mediation. Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to amend and improve the laws and to seek appropriate legal measures.

Praphaprorn Somporn — 2025-06-29

The research is in the form of a thesis designed to study the delinquency of children who commit serious, violent offenses that are accidents or threats to Thai society that are obvious from the incidents caused by children and youth that have a serious impact on society. In the case of assault to death. The perpetrators or perpetrators are only children or juveniles and it is found that most of the offenders are only 13-15 years old. Thai society has criticized why these children and youth are not punished for their actions that have shaken Thai society and are still happening today. Therefore, the researcher has studied the age range. Regarding penalties and the basis of children's liability by studying relevant documents of Thailand compared with foreign countries in accordance with the intent of the Criminal Code, Section 100 of the Criminal Code. 74.

The results of the study showed that there were more delinquents and recidivism among Thai children, which was studied and looked at from the statistical report of the Department of Probation which published the annual statistical report from 2019-2023. He also studied the changes in French foreign laws. The United States and the United States of China have adjusted the law to match current events.

So, A study of juvenile delinquency in current cases, which studies the age range, penalties, and offenses based on comparisons with other countries, has found that the penalties for juvenile delinquency have changed, which many countries have changed to the present. However, it was found that in Thailand, there has been no change or adjustment of the law to the current situation. In France, for example, the penal code has been changed between the ages of 13 and 16 if the penalty is imposed for this age range. If a serious offense is committed and it is an accident, it can be punished with imprisonment in a closed place. In the United States, the penalty of imprisonment is immediately imposed if it is a serious offense or an accident, while in the United States, the Chinese people have clearly defined criminal penalties.

praewpun chaiyaporn — 2025-06-29

This research aims to study the legal problems relating to providing ethical standards for civil servants under the Ethical Standards Act, B.E. 2562 (2019) for civil servants. From the study of concepts and theories regarding ethical standards for civil servants and basic principles relating to controlling and promoting civil service ethics by comparing with foreign laws, such as those in the United States of America, Japan, and the Republic of China (Taiwan), the results of the study found that these laws are similar, namely in providing ethical standards for their civil servants to apply as principles of conduct. The three countries shall provide ethical regulations that require government officials to comply. There are not many provisions, but the provisions are clear. As for the case of a violation of ethics, all three countries have mechanisms in place to deal with violators and take disciplinary action. And if there are ethical punishments for government officials, then all three countries will have similar legal measures. Government officials shall exercise their rights to appeal orders. The exercise of such rights shall be filed in court.

From a study of the Ethical Standards Act, B.E. 2562 (2019), the Civil Service Code of Ethics, and related laws, it was found that the provisions appearing in these laws are still unclear and inappropriate in terms of providing ethical requirements. The said laws provide ethical provisions that overlap with disciplinary provisions. creating a mechanism for enforcing the law In particular, the Ethical Standards Act, B.E. 2562 (2019), is still inappropriate in some respects. The law does not yet have a specific system for civil servants to exercise their rights to review punishment orders for violating ethics. Therefore, it may not yet cover the determination of laws regarding ethical standards for civil servants.

After considering it, we found that there should be amendments to the Ethical Standards Act, B.E. 2562 (2019), and related laws by amending the law regarding the provision of ethical standards. With the defining violation mechanisms and providing measures in the law, there should be a specific system for reviewing punishments for violations of ethical standards for civil servants.

Remedies for Government Officials Suffering from Severe Disciplinary Punishments by Unlawful Administrative Orders: A Case Study of Local Government Organizations

Acharawadee Kaewpan — 2025-06-29

This thesis aims to study and explore the principles and procedures for compensating and remedying state officials who have suffered damage from severe disciplinary punishments by unlawful administrative orders, particularly in the context of local government organizations. This research is divided into two main parts: the first part studies the theoretical concepts related to the powers and responsibilities in personnel administration, and the second part analyzes and compares the standards and methods of remedying damages resulting from disciplinary punishments that are not legally justified, both in Thailand and internationally.

The study found that local government officials who were subjected to severe disciplinary actions faced both financial and non-financial damages. This raises the question of how the state should handle such damages, especially in the absence of specific laws or mandates from local government organizations that outline the compensation and remediation process. The lack of clarity could undermine the state’s ability to ensure justice for the affected state officials. To address this issue, the Office of the Civil Service Commission (OCSC) has issued regulations defining the compensation and remediation process for both appellants and complainants in cases of unlawful disciplinary actions. This approach reflects practices in other countries such as the United States, France, and Germany, which aim to restore state officials who have been disciplined to their original or equivalent positions as if they had never been dismissed from service.

Therefore, appropriate compensation and remediation for local government officials who have been unjustly disciplined should be established in accordance with of the Moral System Protection Committee (OCSC) regarding damage compensation by upholding the principle of justice Act B.E.2565, rules, methods, and remedies for various cases involving appellants and complainants could be determined. for handling various cases to protect the rights of state officials and ensure fair treatment. It also aims to clarify the benefits and compensation that local government employees are entitled to.

Measures to Safety: Applied to the Offence of Stalking

yanisa wankaew — 2025-06-29

Nowadays, society has developed economically, socially, and technologically. However, it has been observed that some people take advantage of these advancements to illegally access others' private information. This social phenomenon has led to an offense against the victim known as stalking, and the number of cases is growing continuously. In this offense, the offender may be either a familiar person or a complete stranger. They usually monitor the victim closely and conduct a certain stalking act for a continued period of time to serve the intention of the offender, such as stalking, secretly taking pictures, communicating both by telephone or other means of communication without the victim’s consent. Despite no direct harm to property, life, or the body, they repeatedly disturb the victim's mind, resulting in serious consequences such as paranoia, anxiety, panic, and insecurity. These wrongful acts might pave the way for more serious crimes subsequently. However, Thailand has no legal measures or procedures to protect people from stalking which do not require the case to be in the prosecution process. Given the nature of this offense, which has a near and immediate impact on the victim, it may be too late to protect the victim before the lawsuit is filed. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to have legal measures in place to protect the victim before filing a lawsuit to ensure initial protection of the victim from further damage, as the same way as some other countries have established such measures to protect the victims before legal procedures.

This article seeks to investigate pre-litigation legal measures to safeguard individuals from being stalked. Aside from Thai law, this study also scrutinizes other countries’ legislatures, including England, South Korea, and Germany, they prioritize privacy because stalking are acts that violate privacy and affect the safety of society. Legislation and law enforcement aimed at protecting the right of privacy in these three countries will serve as a prototype for amending the criminal code. Therefore, there should be pre-litigation legal measures that are in the form of orders to protect individuals from stalking by preventing offenses from occurring in the first place or minimizing the damage that may occur and lead to violence.
