At its 38th meeting, on 15 March 2012, the Human Rights Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review of Thailand (see section C below). 493. The outcome of the review of Thailand comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/19/8), the views of Thailand concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, and its voluntary commitments and replies presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group (see also A/HRC/19/8/Add.1). 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 494. The delegation of Thailand stated that, during its review, 172 recommendations were received, 100 of which were immediately accepted and none rejected. 495. Thailand had subsequently organized consultations to consider the pending recommendations. While sharing the concerns expressed on some issues, it believed that time should be allowed to work on those issues within the national context. 496. Thailand was able to accept wholly or in part 34 of the 72 recommendations made, bringing the total to 134 recommendations, with implementation of each accepted recommendation being of the utmost importance. 497. In February, the Cabinet of Thailand had endorsed a decision to amend the mandate of the national universal periodic review committee to include monitoring and follow-up on review recommendations. All relevant agencies had been tasked with the preparation of plans of action to implement the recommendations and voluntary pledges. 498. Thailand placed great importance on the participation of all stakeholders in the universal periodic review process, and various sectors had shown interest in it. Senior Government officials had met with parliamentary committees to discuss the recommendations. The National Human Rights Commission of Thailand had organized briefings for its subcommittees and the general public. Although difficult questions had been raised, the interaction with all stakeholders had helped to generate awareness about human rights at the national level. 499. Thailand believed that the implementation of the recommendations required the widest participation of all stakeholders. A nationwide consultation process had been embarked upon in March 2012. Further consultations would be carried out in all regions of Thailand. 500. Thailand had begun to implement some of the recommendations and voluntary pledges. In January 2012, Thailand signed the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance and was reviewing its legislation. It had begun to consider the possibility of becoming a party to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, and was determined to complete this process as soon as possible.
