Note: The grounds for the promulgation of this Act are as follows: As torture and enforced disappearance committed by state authorities amount to serious violations of human rights which should not be committed in any situation whatsoever, it is appropriate to criminalise them and to designate measures for their prevention and suppression, remedial measures for their victims, and other relevant measures in line with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, so as to enhance and increase the efficiency of Thailand's law enforcement and protection of human rights. Therefore, it is necessary to enact this Act.
