The NLA has also invited representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Human Rights Commission and the Office of Narcotics Control Board to share ideas and information, that will be used at an upcoming international gathering, which is set to discuss the problem of drugs.

" Welcome to the UN's Annual Parliamentary Hearing, you must be that un-elected mob from Thailand. "

I don't see Prayut allowing anyone from the Thai National Human Rights Commission being allowed to leave Thailand. The already ineffective NHRC will lose its Independent Organization designation under the current draft constitution and Prayut can't risk any of its representatives being questioned by a free press about loss of human rights under Prayut's regime.

Given that the others are very unlikely to have been "appointed', then 'counterparts" is a bit generous, don't you think?

" Welcome to the UN's Annual Parliamentary Hearing, you must be that un-elected mob from Thailand. "

They'll fit in well with the mobs from NK, Zimbabwe, China etc who all get elected with 99.99% of the votes.

Then of course there are all those non elected from the non democratic Arabic totalitarian states, the corrupt African and South American countries etc.

Democracy - something the people can never really be given. Would upset the controlling elites too much.
