In Memory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej

    His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand passed away on October 13, 2016. King Bhumibol was the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history, serving for over 70 years, from June 9, 1946. Fitting the promise His Majesty made to his people, “We will reign with righteousness for the benefits and happiness of the Siamese people,” during his reign, King Bhumibol Adulyadej was not only respected as the father of all Thai people, but was also admired as one of the most warmhearted leaders by many minorities internationally.

    His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej made great contributions to the implementation of international law, under his “Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy” harmonizing with the substantive development agenda. His Majesty received the first UNDP Human Development Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. The accolade hailed the monarch's tireless efforts to help the most poor and vulnerable people of the kingdom. Aside from the deep and unwavering commitment to the welfare and development of Thailand, His Majesty was also well known for his policies on opium replacement. He achieved it not via law enforcement, but encouraging former opium growers among Thailand's hill tribes to grow coffee, corn, and other crops that were medium to high value, instead. As the result, the royal initiative projects were created to replace opium production in the golden triangle within Thailand’s boarder. These projects eliminated opium cultivation from the area and improved living conditions for former opium growers. The UNODC invokes the successful projects as one of the best practices for opium replacement in other countries. The UN General Assembly also recognized the efforts and his leading role in the promotion of soil science and conservation, and sustainable land resource management. His Majesty raised global awareness on the importance of soil as a means for poverty reduction, climate change adaptation, sustainable development, and security. Responding to such devotions, the UN designated ‘December 5’ - His Majesty’s birthday - as the World Soil Day since the year 2013, and designating 2015 as the International Year of Soils.

    I would like to express my most sincere sorrow for the heart-breaking demise of His Majesty, with the readers of the Journal of East Asia and International Law Looking after His Majesty’s spirit in his journey to the heavens… Patthara Limsira
