National Human Rights Commission (Thailand)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (Abrv: NHRCT; Thai: คณะกรรมการสิทธิมนุษยชนแห่งชาติ, RTGS: Khana Kammakan Sitthi Manutsayachon Haeng Chat) was established on 13 July 2001 as a national human rights institution.[1] The seven member commission has been unable to meet for want of a quorum since 30 July 2019, when two commissioners resigned, stating that they could "no longer perform their duties independently and effectively due to restrictive regulations and a hostile and toxic environment."[2]
