On 14 July 2026, Ms. Pinsuda Jayanama, Director-General of the Department of International Organizations, chaired the meeting of the National Committee on the Implementation of Recommendations under the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Mechanism of the Human Rights Council (HRC). The meeting was attended by representatives of relevant agencies and human rights experts who are members and advisors of the National Committee.

The Committee took note of the progress on the preparation of Thailand’s Fourth Cycle Universal Periodic Review (UPR) National Report, as well as the timeline for its presentation. The Committee also reviewed and provided comments on the draft UPR National Report, which is scheduled to be submitted to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in August 2026.

The UPR is a mechanism under the Human Rights Council through which all 193 United Nations Member States prepare and submit a national report on their human rights situation to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights every four and a half years. To date, Thailand has submitted three national reports and three mid-term reports under the UPR process. For the fourth review cycle, Thailand is scheduled to present its national report at the 53rd session of the UPR Working Group in November 2026.
