Thirty-seven MPs and senators on Friday submitted a petition to Parliament President Chai Chidchob asking Ramkhamhaeng University to revoke the honorary doctorate in political science it conferred on Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The petition accused Mr Hun Sen of breaching diplomatic ethics in his handling of Thai-Cambodian relations.
He had acted unethically in appointing fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra his adviser and rejecting Thailand's request to extradite him.
"What he has done is not what a good political scientist should do.
''He has caused a serious conflict with a neighbouring country, a contravention of the honour conferred on him by the university," said Atthaporn Polaboot, a Democrat MP for Phetchaburi.
