Abstract

The right to free movement is one of fundamental human rights guaranteed by international treaties and national constitutions of many countries. However, measures employed by the Thai government to cope with the spread of Covid-19, in particular, those authorized under the 2005 Emergency Decree on Government Administration in States of Emergencies appear to contravene this transnational principle. This article thereby aims to propose recommended modifications for their uses.
