The princess would help to promote justice reform and had a special interest in prison issues, particularly women in prison, the regional head of the UNODC told Reuters. "She doesn't see herself as above the law and is interested in helping out to advance justice reform," UNODC regional representative Jeremy Douglas said. She has served as Thai ambassador to the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice and as ambassador to Austria.
