    "The AHRD would include ... the rights of women, children and other vulnerable groups." Hopefully this will include the right for a thai-child to stay with his foreign-father in Thailand.
    And the right for a thai-woman to stay with his foreign-husband in Thailand.
    Bec.Thailand is a member of ASEAN and a champion for human rights and democracy.
