2.3 Monitoring results of actions taken according to recommendations to improve laws
to solve human rights violation problems that the NHRCT had sent to the Council of Ministers,
it was found that when the Council of Ministers ordered related government agencies to
consider taking actions and these agencies reported back, the Council of Ministers only
“acknowledged” these reports; there was no definite guarantee that those government

agencies would take actions according to the report and how much. In addition, there was
no legal provisions to authorize the NHRCT to ask government agencies to take actions
according to policy recommendations and recommendations to improve laws and rules

that the NHRCT had sent to the Council of Ministers.
Guidelines for solutions: The Organic Act on National Human Rights Commission, B.E. 2560
(2017) should be amended to add provisions to authorize the National Human Rights Commission
to monitor and ask government agencies to take actions according to policy recommendations and

recommendations to improve laws and rules that the NHRCT had informed the Council of Ministers.

3. Consideration of a Bill of the Royal Decree on Remuneration and Travel
Expenses of the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand’s Chairman,

Members and Sub-Committee Members (Issue no. …), B.E. ….

The Office of the National Human Rights Commission had proposed this Bill since 2009 but up till

now is still in the stage of consideration by the Council of Ministers.
Guidelines for solutions: The Council of Ministers should consider a Bill of the Royal Decree on
Remuneration and Travel Expenses of the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand’s Chairman,
Members and Sub-Committee Members (Issue no. ..) B.E. …. making it consistent with Section 175 of

the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, B.E. 2560 (2017) and Section 16 of the National Human
Rights Commission Act, B.E. 2542(1999), completely within an appropriate timeframe.
