Legal Secretary Passes Election Barcode Dispute to Foreign Ministry, Awaits Court Decision

At 9:30 AM on February 17, 2024, at Government House, Pakorn Nilpraphan, Secretary of the Legal Council, discussed Prime Minister Anuthin Charnvirakul's directive to study the cancellation of the 2001 MOU. He noted that the Foreign Ministry must examine international legal steps and meeting agreements for potential cancellation. When asked about re-establishing rules between the two countries, Pakorn suggested that would depend on bilateral discussions. Regarding election ballots with barcodes and QR codes potentially being invalidated, he counter-questioned whether anyone has filed a court complaint, emphasizing that if a case reaches court, one must await the judicial ruling.
