of all sectors in the society to have human rights
awareness and in Article 27 (1) and (3) of the Organic
Act stipulates the NHRCT with roles and duties on
human rights promotion with targeting to all sectors
in the society. And in pursuance of those duties
and powers with vast and various target groups,
covering state- and non-state actors, civil society
organizations, educational institutes, mass media,
children and youth, and the public, the NHRCT has
been developing the modules and approaches for
human rights promotion with awareness raising,
media advocacy and human rights education kits
corresponding to each target group. These could
be used to disseminate knowledge and strengthen
the capacity with human rights for all.
Anyway in practicality with operations undertaken
in the fiscal year 2019, there was none of explicit
budget allocated to such duties and work carried
out by Office of the NHRCT and it was indeed given
with limited amount accumulated under the
budget line of training programs and public relations,
while the main purposes of such activities would be
focusing on human rights awareness raised merely
not only public relations. Thus, this limited amount
had to be divided and allocated to such tasks.
This could imply that with limits of budget
allocated to the NHRCT, it is indeed not covering
all main functional duties carried out, upon the
2017 Constitution and the 2017 Organic Act on
the NHRCT.

Commission, B.E. 2560 (2017), Article 26 (1) authorize
the NHRCT to hold duties and powers for
scrutinizing towards and making of a report against
inaccurate or misleading information provided
towards human rights violation without the delay,
including making of policy guidance and recommendations with appropriateness to prevent or give
solutions to human rights violation and to ensure
effective remedies made to affected persons, to
all relevant public or private sectors.
And in the matters of human rights complaint
handlings, the Paris Principles Relating to National
Human Rights Institutions (the Paris Principles)
declares that the substantive duties and mandates
of the National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in
general shall cover the fact-finding mission carried out
with trustworthiness and conciliation, the mediation
process shall be introduced and undertaken for
making of solutions. And in reference to work carried
out under the National Human Rights Commission
Act, B.E. 2542 (1999), Article 27, it authorizes the
NHRCT, during the investigation conducted, shall
initiate the mediation process among relevant
individuals or agencies. This aims for the dispute
resettlement among relevant parties with their
mutual agreement and satisfaction, but for the
2017 Organic Act of the NHRCT, there is none of
provisions made to authorize the NHRCT to keep
exercising duties and mandates on mediation, thus
the NHRCT is now not authorized to carry out the
mediation function which is one of the functions
designated to the NHRIs under the Paris Principles.
