in its response to the recommendations received on 5 October 2011 under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the UN Human Rights Council, Thailand rejected recommendations to introduce a moratorium on executions and to abolish the death penalty. “Thailand is embarking on a process of studying the possibility of abolishing the death penalty, in consultation with the public and relevant stakeholders,” said the Government. “However, pending the completion of this consultation process, Thailand is unable to accept recommendations to review or amend the law in regard to capital punishment, place a moratorium on or abolish the death penalty.”
