CRC/C/THA/CO/3-4 judicial and administrative decisions, policies and programmes, projects and services, including alternative care, that have an impact on children. The legal reasoning of all judicial and administrative judgments and decisions should also be based on this principle. Right to life, survival and development 37. The Committee welcomes the significant achievements of the State party in reducing child and infant mortality from 34 per 1000 live births in 1990 to 14 in 2010. However, it is concerned about the accidents and injuries, including drowning and road accidents, which are reported as leading causes of death among children. 38. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to prevent injuries and accidents, in particular by strengthening policies on child care, and raising awareness on child safety measures, in families, among caregivers, in schools and the general public. Respect for the views of the child 39. While noting the State party’s information that there are Child and Youth Councils at national, regional and district levels, the Committee is concerned that not all children have the opportunity to express their views freely and participate in the decisions that affect them in the home, community, and administrative and judicial procedures, partly due to traditional attitudes. The Committee is also concerned that the Child and Youth Councils lack support in resources and personnel to organize activities. 40. In light of article 12 of the Convention and the Committee’s general comment No. 12 (2009) on the right of the child to be heard, the Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to ensure the active participation and involvement of all children up to the age of 18 years in decisions that affect them in the family, school and community. It also recommends that the State party undertake a regular review of the extent to which children’s views are taken into consideration and of their impact on policy-making, court decisions, and programme implementation. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that the State party adopt measures to increase support to the Child and Youth Councils. D.

The Committee welcomes the Nationality Act of 2008 which provided for remedies for those whose nationality was revoked in 1972, including their children, and for naturalization for specific categories of persons including children in foster care and adopted children as well as children of illegal immigrants born in Thailand before 1992. While noting efforts of the State party to reach bilateral agreements with neighbouring countries, the Committee nevertheless remains concerned that a significant number of people including children, especially children of indigenous and minority groups, and children of migrant workers, refugees and asylum-seekers remain stateless or potentially stateless. 42. The Committee urges the State party to further review and enact legislation in order to ensure that all children who are at risk of becoming stateless, including children belonging to the disadvantaged groups mentioned in paragraph 41, are provided with access to Thai nationality. The Committee recommends that the State 8
