Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, University for Peace, course: International Peace Studies, language: English, abstract: There were hundreds of documented reports of extrajudicial killings, a blatant human rights violation, in the Philippines from 2001 to 2007. The Philippines is one of the first signatories to the UN Declaration on Human Rights. Signatories of the declaration recognize that these standards impose obligations, duties and commitments on them to comply and enforce in their respective territorial state. The the practice of human rights heavily relies on the political, economic, and cultural dynamics of a certain state. This monism follows the generally accepted principle that the enforcement of human rights is in the hands of the states. Thus, can being a signatory to the declaration make a difference in the protection and respect of human rights? This paper looks at the case of the Philippine government under the Arroyo administration, as a signatory to the declaration, and how it performs in the field of human rights particularly with regard to the spate of extrajudicial killings by revisiting the reports of Melo commission and UN-designated Special Rapporteur, Philip Alston, on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Then, the paper proceeds with a discussion on the effect of ratifying an internationally-accepted declaration on the Philippine government in the hope of an end to the killings.

Book excerpt: This report examines 24 incidents, resulting in 32 deaths, involving Philippine National Police personnel between October 2016 and January 2017. Human Rights Watch found that the official police reports of these incidents invariably asserted self-defense to justify police killings, contrary to eyewitness accounts that portray the killings as cold-blooded murders of unarmed drug suspects in custody. To bolster their claims, the police routinely planted guns, spent ammunition, and drug packets next to the victims' bodies. No one has been meaningfully investigated, let alone prosecuted, for these killings.

Download or read book No Justice Just Adds to the Pain written by Jessica Evans and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When President Benigno Aquino III took office on June 30, 2010, he pledged to end serious human rights violations in the Philippines. One year later, extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances by state security forces persist. The new government has done little to hold perpetrators to account for these and past serious abuses. This report details strong evidence of military involvement in the killings and enforced disappearances of several leftist activists since Aquino took office. Based on interviews with victims of abuses, family members and friends, eyewitnesses, police and military officials, and others, it reveals how police investigations have stalled--especially when evidence leads to the military--how arrest warrants against alleged perpetrators have not been executed, and how internal military investigations are near non-existent. The Justice Department's inadequate protection program for witnesses has also hindered the ability to bring perpetrators to justice. 'No justice just adds to the pain' calls on the Philippine government to step up efforts to investigate and prosecute members of the security forces and government-backed militias implicated in extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. The government should also sanction investigators who fail to credibly investigate cases, order the military to cease targeted attacks on civilians, and stop blanket denials of military involvement in all cases"--P. [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: Since his election in 2016, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has directed a brutal anti-drug campaign rife with extrajudicial killings. Interpreting the war on drugs through the conceptual frameworks of penal populism, noble cause corruption, revanchism, and state terrorism, William N. Holden argues the war on drugs has failed to achieve its purpose, follows trends of authoritarian populism, and overlooks a more pressing social issue—the vulnerability of the Philippines to climate change.
