Is it fair for a government to prevent its citizens to re-enter the country in times of a global pandemic? Do authorities need to inform relatives where suspects are detained? May the police collect genetic information of citizens who live close to the border?

The FNF Thailand office has a long history of raising awareness among young people of human rights. The team uses innovative approaches, such as self-developed card games or role plays. With its new website – a leaner microsite – it now also has a digital tool to raise awareness of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in particular. This is a multilateral treaty that commits states’ parties to respect individual freedoms, electoral rights and rights to due process and a fair trial. 

Thailand is a state party to the ICCPR. However, civil society organizations as well as the United Nations regularly push for better protection of the committed rights and freedoms. FNF Thailand and the Human Rights Commission are convinced that the microsite will encourage Thailand's politicians to improve the implementation of the ICCPR by increasing public awareness of human rights.
