Internal Processes in Thai Law in Becoming A Party to and Implementing Obligation under An International Convention

Abstract

Every state has its own internal processes applied when considering whether to become a party to or obligated to an international convention or not. These processes could be diverse in different states; however, they are usually complex and contain numerous steps relating to the executive and legislative, as required by various laws and regulations. For example, they tend to involve negotiating, signing, ratifying an international convention, as well as enacting a statute in order to implement obligation under a convention. This article investigates these internal processes in Thai law, ranging from discussion of relevant legal theories and principles to the legal basis and processes relating to the executive and legislative respectively.
