Thai Constitutional Court Case no. 19/2564, Treason, Treason Act 1848, ๊UK Treason LawAbstract
In the case no. 19/2564, Thai Constitutional Court rules that advocating for reform of the monarchy is treason. Demanding change is causing turmoil and devaluing the sacred status of the monarch. In so doing is abusing constitutional rights and freedoms and henceforth, prohibited. The justification of the Court’s reasoning is hard to follow. Therefore, the question arises as to the necessity of such measure. By examining international human rights law and legal practice, this article argues the ruling of the 19/2564 case does not align with international legal standard in which Thailand is a state party. By exploring how legal authorities in the UK and the Commonwealth respond in similar occasions, this article hopefully can shed some light on how Thailand can improve on protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms.
