@pouyingluck_shin : Human rights lie at the very heart of democracy. And it is in everyone's duty to uphold democratic principles. We cannot and should not accept any undemocratic changes. And we must continue to support democratic values by protecting people's rights and liberties. At the same time, democracy is not just about winning elections through majority of votes but it is about exercising power in a way that respect the minorities This means that those in power must not cling onto power and impose one's will on others. I believe that the work of the Human Rights Council and our cooperation in addressing issues of human rights can help make governments more responsive to the peoples' needs and thereby ensuring that the power will always remain with the people. Thailand has also gone through challenges to defend our democracy over the decades. The journey has not been smooth, and even today, I still have to defend democracy from undemocratic minds.
