The report on the performance of the National Human Rights Commission of
Thailand (NHRCT) for the fiscal year 2022 is prepared in accordance with Section 45
of the National Human Rights Commission Act 2017. The report covers the period
from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022. During the course of the year, the
NHRCT gave priority to carrying out its legal duties, responding to the NHRCT
strategy and the basic policy framework of the fourth Commission by coordinating
with various sectors to jointly build a society that respects human rights. Major
outcomes of its performance are summarized below.
Protection of human rights: The
NHRCT received 1,149 complaints alleging
violations of human rights in the fiscal year
2022. Of these, 924 cases (80.42%) were
accepted for further action, while 225 cases
(19.58 %) were not accepted because
they were not within the authority of the
NHRCT or were under the authority of other
independent organizations. The accepted
cases were classified into the following
categories: 1) Coordination of human rights
protection: 164 cases (17.75%); 2) Investigation
of human rights violations: 236 cases
(25.54%); 3) Study and development
of recommendations for promoting and
protecting human rights: 29 cases (3.14%);
and 4) Other forms of assistance: 495
cases (53.57%). The top three issues that
were most complained about were rights
1
and status of persons, rights in the justice
process, and community rights.
In the fiscal year 2022, the NHRCT completed
a total of 169 complaint investigation
reports. Of these, 88 cases (52.07%)
involved acts or omissions of acts that
violated human rights and the NHRCT
made recommendations to the concerned
authorities to prevent and rectify human
rights violations. In 57 cases (33.73%),
no violations were found but the NHRCT
did make recommendations to promote
and protect human rights to the relevant
agencies. The remaining 24 cases (14.20%)
were those that were pending in court
or cases which did not fall under the
NHRCT1 mandate, or that were referred to
concerned agencies for action, or did not
involve any human rights violations.
