Based on our case I fully agree with recommendation number 27, because in our experience there has been continuing violence for 12 years, and people want to be part of the solution to this crisis. Now is time for all the stakeholders in the Thai state to acknowledge the people’s voice from the ground by recognizing minority rights and the open participation of the minority community in the ongoing peace process to help determine their future with full respect from the state. Finally, I realize as a Thai citizen that National security is a high priority but the way to stop violence is by fulfilling the rights of minorities. Treating people with the right policy is the best way to maintain national security and can also protect our country from continuing unrest. I believe we as CSOs and the minority community, will appreciate having dialogue to find a peaceful future together with the Thailand government Thank you for your attention
