It’s been almost one year since Thailand’s government set out to regulate their investment projects in other countries to comply with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The Cabinet Resolution was released on 16 May 2016 and pertains to extra-territorial obligations/business and human rights of Thai transboundary investments in Southeast Asia. Recently, the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand traveled to observe one of Thailand’s international investment projects in Myanmar’s Tanintharyi Region, including a tin mine and a Special Economic Zone.
