A resolution urging the Government of Thailand to protect and uphold democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, and for other purposes.
SRES 114 is a non-binding Senate resolution urging Thailand's government to protect democratic rights and human rights. It specifically calls on Thailand to release political activists (including over 280 children), drop charges against protesters, stop using spyware against dissidents, and abandon restrictive laws like the Draft Act on Not-for-Profit Organizations. The resolution also demands reforms to Thailand's lèse majesté law, sedition laws, and computer crime statutes that limit free expression. It warns that continued rights violations would prevent the U.S. from recognizing Thailand's 2023 elections as fair, and could jeopardize U.S. security and economic assistance.
