Prime Minister of Thailand in the context of "2014 Thai coup d'état"

The United Nations' High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change was created in 2003 to analyse threats and challenges to international peace and security, and to recommend action based on this analysis. It was chaired by former Prime Minister of Thailand, Anand Panyarachun, and its members included former United States National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft, as well as several former heads of government and foreign ministers as members.

In December 2004, it produced a report on threats to peace and security.

Anand Panyarachun (Thai: อานันท์ ปันยารชุน, RTGS: Anan Panyarachun, pronounced [ʔāː.nān pān.jāː.rā.t͡ɕʰūn]; born 9 August 1932) is a Thai retired politician who served as the Prime Minister of Thailand for two terms, first from 1991 to 1992 and again for a brief period during the latter half of 1992. He was effective in initiating economic and political reforms, one of which was the drafting of Thailand's "People's Constitution", which was promulgated in 1997 and abrogated in 2006. Anand received a Ramon Magsaysay Award for Government Service in 1997. He was a supporter of liberal corporatism.
