Secretary general to the prime minister Korbsak Sabhavasu has been named the chief negotiator in charge of troubleshooting any problems that may arise with the red shirts, PM Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Wednesday.
Abhisit was speaking after chairing the meeting of the Internal Security Operations Command.
The Isoc approved security measures related to the enforcement of the internal security law.
Among key measures is the instruction for Korbsak to reason with rally organisers in order to ensure a peaceful and orderly assembly of protesters.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban is entrusted to supervise the anti-riot operation.
The crowd control plans have been based on the October 9, 2008 verdict of the Supreme Administrative Court.
Under the high court's ruling, the right to a peaceful assembly does not apply to activities deemed as intimidation, instigation of violence and violations of other legally-sanctioned rights.
The high court said protesters were obligated to heed the authorities in order to ensure peace and public order. Protesting activities such as the blockade of government installations were deemed beyond the rights sanctioned by the Constitution.
