The Thai Patriots Network has petitioned for the royal intervention to block the promulgation of the amended Article 190 of the Constitution, network leader Chaiwat Sinsuwong said on Wednesday.

Article 190 prescribes for the parliamentary scrutiny of the fraimework for negotiating international agreements and the amended provision is designed to bypass such scrutiny, he said.
"The amended Article 190, if promulgated, will likely risk the Thailand's loss of disputed areas to Cambodia," he said.
