Activities

The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is the principal agency responsible for criminal prosecution, provision of legal advice to state agencies, representation of government in court and for international cooperation in criminal matters. It is also the duty of the OAG to protect civil rights and provide legal aid to the needy.

The Office of the Attorney General was funded by the US State Department in 2003 to conduct a legal analysis to determine what steps are needed to bring Thai national laws into conformance with the United Nations National Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. Through a series of workshops and seminars, police and other law enforcement agencies were trained on Thailand's legal obligations to fight trafficking.
