ADVISOR: PROF. SUPANG CHANTAVANICH, Ph.D. {, 119 pp. This thesis is designed to examine the local integration and social protection for Cambodian migrants in the Thai border villages of Khok Sung district, Sa Kaeo province. Cambodian migrants can be divided into three groups: former refugees, intermarriage migrants and current migrant workers. Much attention is paid to the migrants’ negotiation the multiple boundaries of physical, social and legal in order to see how local integration and local acceptance are met and transformed into social protection. In order to see the phenomenon from the inclusive view points, this study also covers the causes of the migration flow into the preferred destination in which links to the geographic, historical and demographic conditions of ethnic relations between Thai-Cambodian borders’ population. The research methods draw upon extensive interview with more than one hundreds interviewees and key informants and also apply with ethnographical technique of non-participant observation. I visited the migrants and local people with different villages, seeing their livelihoods, attitudes and perceptions from migrants and local citizens to find out the different limitations of existing social protection items for migrants from local collective practice and state based mechanism. This study reveals that migrants’ settlement and local integration process are strongly influenced by ethnic and intermarriage relations between Cambodian migrants and host citizens in Khok Sung district. These conditions provide the migrants with the networks as supporting systems and the sympathizers in the receiving society. The migrants seem to be recognized by the local villagers or by themselves as the members of host community in a different way than what outsiders would imagine so-called migrants and aliens. They are totally included into community welfare and insurance programs except only what are so called legal barriers and selective included by state based mechanism into social protection schemes. Therefore, it seems that the differences of existing social protection items from the community and the state can eventually able to supplement some roles during the absence of one another.

While progress is being made in planning, prioritisation, and land release, the target of completing anti-personnel mine clearance by 2025 is highly ambitious and could only be achieved with significantly increased funding and capacity. Cambodia continued to make good progress during 2019 in its ongoing baseline re-survey to more accurately determine the extent of remaining contamination and expected to complete the survey in the course 2020. However, while release through survey in 2019 remained broadly the same as in 2018, clearance output fell significantly compared to previous year. Although not entirely clear, multiple factors are thought to account for the decrease in clearance, including tasking of a larger proportion of difficult-to-access mined areas with more challenging terrain, compared to previous years; clearance of more mixed contamination; and decreased funding to some operators.

From 2004 until now, we have documented 167 allegations of torture and/or ill treatment. Previously, CrCF has taken the lead in submitting shadow reports to various UN human rights bodies (UPR 2011, CRC 2011 CERD 2012, as well as the Committee for Convention against Torture (CAT-for 2013/2014), and submitted complaints to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances. Furthermore, CrCF has cooperated on various occasions with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in organizing and conducting trainings and workshops for Thai human rights organizations. 2) Until date, CrCF continues to receive reports of cases of violation of the right to life and prohibition of torture and ill treatment; deaths in custody, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearances.

    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2012.13.11.5501 Pap Smear Results for Akha Hill Tribe and Urban Women in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand RESEARCH ARTICLE Comparison of Pap Smear Screening Results between Akha Hill Tribe and Urban Women in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand Onanong Kritpetcharat1, Wiwat Wutichouy2, Suchat Sirijaichingkul3, Panutas Kritpetcharat4* Abstract Cervical cancer is an important woman’s health problems worldwide, especially in low socio-economic countries. The aim of this study was to compare the Pap smear screening results between Akha hill tribe and urban women who live in Chiang Rai province, Thailand. Screening was conducted for 1,100 Akha women and 1,100 urban women who came to have the Pap smear at Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital and 1 private cytology laboratory from January to June 2008. The demographic characteristics and factors related to abnormal Pap according to the Bethesda 2001 system. The results showed that the prevalence of abnormal Pap smears was 12.2% in Akha women and 4.5% in urban women. The highest prevalence of Pap abnormalities was found in the 41-50 years age group in both populations (4.5% in Akha and 1.7% in urban women). In both populations, abnormal Pap smears were found in <21 years age groups. From the questionnaires, the possible risk factors years), high frequency pregnacies and high parity and no/low education level. In conclusion, cervical cancer control by education and early detection by Pap smear screening is necessary for hill tribe women. More Pap smear screening service units should be set to improve the coverage for the risk group women who got married in young age, especial in ethnic groups.
  • Implications of Border Trade Between Thailand and Cambodia

    Implications of Border Trade Between Thailand and Cambodia

    doi: 10.14456/jms.2017.4 The Truck Terminal Project in Sa Kaeo Province: Implications of Border Trade between Thailand and Cambodia Jirawat Jaroensathapornkul School of Economics and Public Policy Srinakharinwirot University, Bangkok, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Thailand has recently put in place a logistics development plan for a network of road transport. Included among several projects is one for setting up truck terminals in border cities to act as centers for the pooling and distribution of goods. Sa Kaeo is considered a promising border city. This study investigates the impacts of a truck terminal project in Sa Kaeo province on border trade between Thailand and Cambodia using secondary data and in-depth interviews that are analyzed under the SWOT Matrix. The analytical results have led to several recommendations, as follows: The Thai government should complete the project at Ban Nong Ian as soon as possible by including it in the formation of a special economic zone in the province. The reason is that Aranyaprathet Customs House, the existing check point, is no longer able to serve the major increase in border trade. However, there are certain concerns about an insufficient distribution of benefits to the general public in the province. It is therefore suggested that investment in the animal feed industry should be promoted in Sa Kaeo for export to Cambodia. Also, there are some concerns that Cambodian enterprises may be reluctant to transfer their products to the new customs house as they may have to bear more expenses. In this regard, the Thai government may offer temporary remedies for Thai entrepreneurs within a certain limit of time through a subsidy against the margin to maintain export prices at competitive levels to motivate Cambodian entrepreneurs to adapt their operations.
