I would like to respond to your leader on Thailand's "disgraceful treatment of refugees" ("A sad slide backwards", January 31st). Thailand has had to deal with flows of people from neighbouring countries for more than 40 years now and it has stood firm by its humanitarian tradition throughout. Upholding basic human rights is a guiding principle for Thai policy and like other countries Thailand protects its borders and citizens in accordance with its immigration laws and applicable international law.
