The Ministry of Justice is driving seven key policies under the principle "Justice delayed is justice denied," to make the legal system faster, more accessible, and equitable for all.

Justice Minister Pol. Lt. Gen. Rutthaphon Naowarat outlined these policies on the televised program “Talk with the Anutin Cabinet” on the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT) on 12 September 2026. They comprise the following priorities:

1. Translating royally initiated projects into practice to ensure public access to true justice;

2. Combating all forms of crime;

3. Tackling illicit drug problems;

4. Protecting civil rights and reducing social disparities;

5. Upgrading laws and the justice system to international standards;

6. Rehabilitating offenders in order to reintegrate them into society;

7. Strengthening professional administration based on good governance.

The Ministry is also establishing clearer timeframes, streamlining procedures, and improving cross-agency coordination from initial complaints to assistance and remedies. Relevant agencies have been instructed to adopt a proactive, people-centered approach to expedite all operations.

Equal access to justice remains a top priority. Legal counseling, bail assistance, financial compensation, the Justice Fund, community justice centers, and public hotlines will serve as vital tools to assist citizens – especially those facing financial hardship.

Fundamentally, these reforms aim to make justice more tangible in daily life by reducing wait times, simplifying procedures, and lowering costs to ensure fair and prompt access for everyone.
