Today we released a new white paper focusing on the history and root causes of the ongoing political crisis in Thailand.

The purpose of the document is alert the international community to the grave risks faced by Thai citizens who may be subjected to an unlawful coup and removal of the elected prime minister. There are serious concerns of a repeat – or worse – of the 2010 massacres of protesters if another coup takes place, robbing tens of millions of people of their right to vote.

The international community must act to defend Thailand’s beleaguered democracy based on its Responsibility to Protect.
