Songkhla Declaration

Social- new community which is possible

There have been many economic, social, political and environmental changes in

Thailand since entering into our current era of globalization. The growth of the trade system, new
development policies, as well as the political instability in the south affect all Thai citizens,

regardless of creed or way of life. These factors contribute to turmoil and agony within the
country. For these reasons, we are interested in creating a new society in which all people can

define our new society and which is in agreement with their desire to co-operate a new network
to protect as well as to create a new society.

As citizens, we declare that

1. We are commited to promoting morality and to supporting fellow citizens in
preparing themselves for the new society, which will be defined around a central goal of self-

determination of local communities.

2. We are commited to preventing our state from becoming a victim of illegal
invasion, outside compulsion, or any other wrongful acts. As citizens, we uphold our community's

rights, and we reaffirm our desire to not have trouble like in the past.
3.We are commited to creating a society in which all citizens will be treated equally,

without any distinction or discrimination in regard to ethnicity, gender, language, religion, etc.
4.Taking our own history into consideration, we declare that we will use our power

to create a new egalitarian community.

5. We are commited to complying with the Songkhla Declaration in achieving the
following goals:

5.1 Using the religious teaching to develop the community (Kumpong takwar) according
to four pillar principles.

5.2o uphold and protect the rights of minority cultural and ethnic groups and to consider

them as equals in the community without any kind of discrimination.
5.3 To provide the opportunity for all citizens, regardless of gender, to help develop and

consider new policy, as well as participating directly in implementing that policy. We are
commited to preventing any kind of oppression or discrimination on the basis of gender.

5.4 All minors have the same rights to freedom from discrimination; also minors will

contribute equally to social development.
