Report on the implementation of the Convention on the

Rights of Persons with Disabilities by the National Human

Rights Commission of Thailand

-------------------------

Preparation of the report

1. The National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (NHRCT) prepared

this report in its capacity as the independent mechanism designated to

monitor the implementation of the Convention in accordance with Article

33 paragraph 2. The NHRCT set up an ad-hoc Sub-committee chaired by the

Human Rights Commissioner responsible for the rights of persons with disabilities

to prepare a draft report. Representatives of organizations of persons with

disabilities of various types were invited to participate in the Sub-committee

to provide information and views on the implementation of the Convention.

The Sub-committee held 5 meetings between January and May 2015 to

discuss issues of concern to persons with disabilities to be incorporated in

the draft report. It also requested information from concerned government

departments and invited some of them to have further discussion with the Sub-

committee including the Department for the Empowerment of Persons with

Disabilities (DEP), Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and the

Primary Education Office, Ministry of Education. The draft report was presented

to the NHRCT for consideration and was approved in June 2015.
