The ''Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand (Interim), Buddhist Era 2557 (2014)'' ((タイ語:รัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย (ฉบับชั่วคราว) พุทธศักราช 2557); ) is the current supreme law of Thailand. Drafted by law lecturers from Chulalongkorn University (CU),〔 the constitution was enacted by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), a military junta led by General Prayut Chan-o-cha and staging a coup d'état against the caretaker government on 22 May 2014. Without public consultation,〔 King Bhumibol Adulyadej assented to and signed the constitution on 22 July 2014.〔 The constitution came into force on that day and replaced the 2007 constitution. The interim constitution paves the way for the establishment of a national legislature to exercise the legislative power, a provisional cabinet to take charge of public administration, a reform council to execute extensive national reforms and approve a draft new constitution, and a constituent committee to draft the new constitution. But the constitution does not state a fixed time frame for all these works.〔 Even though the constitution recognises Thailand as a democratic state and the people as sovereign, the constitution grants amnesty for all past and future military actions concerning the coup and invests the NCPO with vast powers, including the power by which the NCPO leader can issue any order at will for the sake of the reforms or security. All orders so issued are considered lawful and final. Public discussions about the interim constitution are prohibited by the NCPO.〔 == History == After months of political crisis in which former Democrat Party secretary general Suthep Thaugsuban led a street protest against the government of prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, younger sister of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the Royal Thai Armed Forces staged a coup d'état unseating the government on 22 May 2014. On that day, the military formed the NCPO to rule the nation and partially repealed the 2007 constitution, keeping intact chapter 2 (concerning the monarchical institution). General Prayut said that he would run the country until the situation requires an interim government,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.bangkokpost.com/most-recent/411445/reform-lawmaking-bodies-in-pipeline )〕 without promises of a quick return to civilian rule. But after international pressures, he announced that there would be an interim constitution and a provisional government by September 2014. On 23 June 2014, it was announced that Chulalongkorn University law lecturer Wissanu Krea-ngam was drafting an interim constitution for General Prayut. Wissanu was assisted by Pornpet Wichitchonlachai, a fellow law lecturer at Chulalongkorn University. Pornpet is known for his unsuccessful proposal to extend the lèse majesté law to all members of the royal household and of the Privy Council. On 22 July 2014, the two month anniversary of the coup, General Prayut had an audience with King Bhumibol Adulyadej at his seaside Klai Kangwon Palace to present the draft interim constitution to the king for his signature. After being signed by the king on that day, it went into effect forthwith and was published in the Government Gazette. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 interim constitution of Thailand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
