THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STATE LIABILITY TO STATE OFFICIALS: IN CASE OF STATE OFFICIALS WHO WORK WITH THE RISK.

Abstract

Risks in providing public services by state officials can be found in some kinds of duties such as ones in the southern border provinces, demonstration and protest sites, terrorist incidents, or disaster regions.  In this case, it is the state’s responsibility for any suffer or damage which might happen to their officials on duty.  

This article aims to study the basic principles of state liability to state officials as well as the concepts and theories about the responsibilities of the Thai state and other countries in order to develop precise guidelines concerning the state liability to state officials with occupational risks.  Safety guarantees and working incentives by the state have also been expected to be provided to state officials for efficient public services with maximum benefits.
