The Exercise Of The Absolute Power Of The Head Of The Ncpo Under The Constitution Of The Kingdom Of Thailand (Interim), 2014

Abstract
This research focused on the legal status of the power of the Head of the National Council for Peace and Order according to Section 44 of Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim), 2014. From the study, it was found that Thailand accepted the coup d��tat on 22nd May 2014.This coup d��tat council under the name of �The National Council for Peace and Order� (the NCPO)is a sovereignty that has the absolute power to perform any act to bring the Nation back to normality. After bringing back peace to the Nation, the NCPO has provided Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim), 2014 as a temporary conditional covenant to manage the country, and the determination on the preparation of permanent constitution shall be done on the next stage. However, Section 44 of the Constitution has provided the absolute power to the Head of the NCPO with the approval of the NCPO, and such exercised power shall be deemed lawful and constitutional under this Constitution. In this case, such power exercise is exempted from monitoring, and it is counted as a contrary to the Rule of Law Principle. Therefore, the judiciary as the main organization according to the separation of powers shall be confident to refuse the exercise of power under Section 44 of the Head of the NCPO in the case where there is no state of emergency by taking the Rule of Law Principle which mainly focuses on the protection of freedoms of people into account.
