Government of Thailand & Chaiwat Limlikhitaksorn v. Wuth Boonlert & Samak Donnapee
No full textIn 2019, Samak Donnapee, a retired forestry officer, and Wuth Boonlert, an indigenous human rights advocate, were prosecuted and tried for criminal defamation. The charges, brought by a government officer, Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn, (in his private capacity) and the Public Prosecutor, relate to Facebook posts by Samak Donnapee. The Prosecution alleged that the Facebook posts suggested that government employee Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn owned land that unlawfully encroached onto a national park that is also traditionally indigenous land. Wuth Boonlert was accused of sharing one of these posts with no further commentary. None of the posts named Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn.
Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn, a senior forestry officer, is known in Thailand for his 2011 role in forcibly removing the indigenous Karen community from land designated as national park land and burning down their homes and other property. As testified to in this court action, Wuth Boonlert had previously testified to the National Human Rights Commission about the forced removal and the destruction of Karen homes at Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn’s direction. Samak Donnapee testified in this action that he and Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn had also known each other professionally over the years and that, in 2014, Samak Donnapee (then a more senior forestry officer) had recommended that Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn be transferred to another district due to allegations he was involved in the disappearance of a Karen community activist. The criminal defamation charges in this case, particularly against Wuth Boonlert (who was only accused of sharing a Facebook post), appear to stem from this history. In accepting criminal charges from Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn and bringing its own criminal defamation charges as well, it appears that the State supported a prosecution that was intended to deter and punish rights activists.
While the trial itself was generally well conducted, the decision to bring charges was fundamentally flawed and inconsistent with the clear human rights law limits on prosecutions for defamation. In particular, the UN Human Rights Committee has stated that states should consider “the decriminalization of defamation” and that “in circumstances of public debate concerning public figures in the political domain and public institutions, the value placed by the [ICCPR] upon uninhibited expression is particularly high” and that therefore “a public interest in the subject matter of the criticism should be recognized as a defence.” Here, the charges self-evidently had little basis — the Facebook posts never named Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn — and, importantly, constituted speech that was part of an important debate about government corruption and national land use, both matters of public interest. While the court’s decision to acquit both defendants is to be welcomed, this is a case that should never have gone to trial

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Minoriti Melayu di Bangkok dan kawasan sekitarnya: Antara survival dan kejayaan / Chaiwat Meesantan
No full textThis study aims to investigate and explore the historical background, survival and success of Malay minority living with the Thai majority in Bangkok and its provinces during the Rattanakosin era; from the reign of king Rama I to the resettlement of prisoner of wars from Patani to Bangkok in 1786 up to the present time. This study adapts multi-disciplinary approach. The central plains region of Thailand, especially Bangkok and its surrounding areas, became intensely populated with people coming from different cultural backgrounds, including the Malay community with an estimated number of 700,000 people. The Malays had inhabited this area since the ruling of the Kingdom of Ayuthaya around 14th to 15th century and massive growth was evident since the early Rattanakosin era in the 18th century; much to the impact of war between the Kingdom of Siam and the Malay Kingdoms in the south. The findings of this study revealed that the Siamese government’s policies were the major factor that had greatly affected the survival of the Malays and the Malay community living particularly in central Thailand. The implementation of Siamese government policies had conveniently forced the Malays to adapt and conform to the policies for survival. King Rama during the Rattanakosin era had introduced various government policies that had affected the Malay’s way of life particularly under the assimilation policy. As a nation who aspired to maintain a strong national identity, the Malays had nevertheless adopted policies and modification of identity from time to time during the reign of King Rama. This life modification was performed for the sake of survival under the ruling of Rattanakosin. Their survival in every era consisted of different modifications; i.e. separation, adaptation, integration and assimilation. Their success was portrayed mainly through family and religious institutions during the Rattanakosin monarchial reign and further progressed to education, economy and political institutions during the Thailand democratic era. After 1906, the Malays in Bangkok and its surrounding areas had assumed their rights in the same manner with the Thai majority, without hindrance and any barrier to success in life. The successful Malay individuals pointed out several key factors that had enabled them to succeed. Among them were the background of parents, persevarance, level of education, creativity, and finally employment and income. At present, the Malays still possess all the rights to preserve their identity and to compete fairly within the majority Thai community for success

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
