THE THAI CONSTITUTION OF 1997

The 1997 Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand

had provisions on human rights and equality. We assume that
a new constitution will build on the provisions in that

constitution. The equality provision read as follows:

Section 30. All persons are equal before the law and

shall enjoy equal protection under the law.
Men and women shall enjoy equal rights.

Unjust discrimination against a person on the grounds
of the difference in origin, race, language, sex, age, physical
or health condition, personal status, economic or social

standing religious belief, education or constitutionally
political view shall not be permitted.

Other related provisions are:

Section 5. The Thai people, irrespective of their
origins, sexes or religions, shall enjoy protection under

this Constitution.

Section 26. In exercising powers of all State authorities,

regard shall be had to human dignity, rights and liberties
in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.
