witness law aimed at protecting human rights. In addition, every process of evidence in
criminal cases aimed at investigating the truth up to the verdict. It is another process that

is done to protect important human rights. The problem with the Thai criminal justice
system is that the system and mechanism are still lacking in a fair trial in some areas
leading to fair judgment. And Individualization of Punishment
The author suggests reforming the prosecution system to unity, namely
the prosecutor is responsible for the investigation and criminal prosecution. This will help

the prosecutor understand and access all the evidence from the beginning. And to adjust
the criminal base since the beginning of the case is the duty of the prosecutor. All methods
of evidence seeking must be used as required by law and passed the consideration from

the prosecutor’s office and approved by the court. In an important criminal case,
a preliminary investigation must be conducted. Arranging open statements and closing
cases. And the court must perform the examination of criminal cases according to the law.
