Thailand
Thailand’s efforts to restore democracy after many years of military rule were seriously undermined in 2024 by the Constitutional Court’s rulings to dissolve the opposition Move Forward Party and remove the Srettha Thavisin government from office. The new government of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra pledged significant reforms when she campaigned for the Pheu Thai Party during the 2023 election but they have yet to be undertaken. Authorities continue to restrict fundamental rights—particularly freedom of expression and peaceful assembly—using lèse-majesté (insulting the monarchy), sedition, and cyber-crime laws. Authorities have failed to protect human rights defenders from reprisals by state agencies and private companies. Enforcement of measures to resolve torture and enforced disappearance is lacking. Impunity for abuses—particularly in the deep south—continues unabated. Refugees and asylum seekers remain at risk of arrest and deportation.
