Representatives of Sweden and Thailand recently had discussions on promoting human rights, gender equality, and legislation and initiatives to solve violence against women according to the Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok.
The topics were discussed during the visit of Swedish Ambassador Anna Hammargren to the National Assembly of Thailand last week in which the Ambassador had a meeting with the Committee on Legal Affairs, Justice and Human Rights, and the House of Representatives of Thailand.
Besides the areas mentioned above, both parties also discussed potential collaborations that the two countries could explore together in the future.

Thailand and human rights do not rhyme very well.
When shall the victims of Thaksin’s “war on drugs” – the 2 500 extrajudicial killings – have their human rights? And the vicimts of Tak Bai?
It is disgusting that the country babbles about “human rights” when it refuses to respect them. Human rights in Thailand serve only when it is favourable to royalists’ and military’s agenda.
