Notes

The Committee welcomes the submission of the initial report of Thailand (CAT/C/THA/1) and the common core document (HRI/CORE/THA/2012). The Committee regrets that the report was submitted after a delay of five years, which has prevented the Committee from monitoring the implementation of the Convention in the State party. The Committee also notes that while the State party report generally followed the guidelines, it lacked statistical information on the implementation of the Convention.
