From the Website of OPPAP links:  http://www.opapp.gov.ph/resources/statement-gph-panel-talks-cpp-npa-ndf Statement of the GPH Panel in talks with the CPP-NPA-NDF Posted on Thursday, 25 October, 2012 - 17:45 Thu, 10/25/2012   It is unfortunate that the CPP has called for the intensification of violence (in today's Business Mirror citing the CPP's official website). Such a call, no matter what the provocation or reason for it was, only succeeds to make us question the real intent of the CPP/NPA/NDF. The CPP-NPA is waging a so-called armed struggle against the government, but is in truth waging it against the people and would perpetrate a further worsening of the poverty situation of families' and children's suffering who bear the brunt of their armed attacks. The Government as mandated by its people will stand by its duties and for which our security forces will be ready to protect the lives and welfare of the people. The GPH panel renews its call for the CPP-NPA-NDF to listen to the cries of our people for peace. We continue our call for our counterparts to show true sincerity in their professions of peace and concern for the people by lowering the level of violence as a prelude to peace. The declaration of a ceasefire as a token of good faith has carried the GPH-MILF peace talks to an unprecedented achievement. The same process can help declogg the GPH-CPP/NPA/NDF peace negotiations with bona fide political will.

Army reaffirms adherence to International Humanitarian Law

Army reaffirms adherence to International Humanitarian Law

FORT BONIFACIO, Taguig City – In a simultaneous flag raising ceremony in all military camps nationwide on Monday, August 13, Army personnel took an oath of reaffirmation to strictly adhere to International Humanitarian Law (IHL), an Army official said.

Major Harold M Cabunoc, the Army Spokesperson, said that the Philippine Army joins the whole nation, as well as the international community, in celebrating the IHL Day. Mr. Jean-Luc Metzker of the International Committee on Red Cross (ICRC) and Army Chief Lt Gen Emmanuel T Bautista graced the event.

IHL Day is observed to commemorate the signing of the 1949 Geneva Conventions which is considered the core of the International Humanitarian Law. It has been acceded by 194 States, the Philippines included.

The Philippine Army, for its part, continues to adopt measures in furtherance of its commitment to respect and uphold human rights at all times.

“Army Chief Lt Gen Emmanuel T Bautista has directed all commanders of the Army’s major units all throughout the archipelago to strictly observe human rights protection in the conduct of operations, be it combat, intelligence or civil military operations,” said Cabunoc.

In his statement, Bautista said that the celebration of IHL Day is a reaffirmation of the Philippine Army’s commitment and support for the International Humanitarian Law as it performs its role of protector of the people and the state.

“Let me remind all of you that while the use of force may be necessary to address armed threats to our nation’s peace and security, we have to bind ourselves to certain rules of conduct in adherence to international humanitarian law and human rights. And despite the fact that we are facing adversaries that abide by no rules, we must remain by the rule of law. That is what makes us different from those we fight,” said Bautista.

Human rights protection is an integral component of the IPSP Bayanihan. Bautista said that reaffirmation to the principles of human rights and international humanitarian law is a significant step towards winning peace based on the rights and dignity of every individual.

“As we renew and reaffirm our adherence to the International Humanitarian Law, I encourage every soldier to take this to heart and exert conscious effort to abide by its wisdom in all our undertakings. This will be key to winning the peace and achieving our vision to be a world-class army that is a source of national pride,” concluded Bautista.

Meanwhile, various activities are lined up for this year’s celebration which is led by the Department of National Defense (DND).

One of the highlights of the celebration is the Photo Exhibit at the Philippine Army Wellness Center (Army Gym) which will run from August 13 to 17.

On August 18, participants from other government agencies, non-government organizations, and people’s organizations are expected to join the IHL Advocacy Run. The run will be held at the Mc Kinley – Fort Bonifacio – Heritage Park area.

Also, a bloodletting activity to be facilitated by the Philippine National Red Cross will be conducted at the HPA Grandstand.

European Minister Sees Capacity-Building for AFP

Written by PAO, AFP

CAMP GENERAL EMILIO AGUINALDO, Quezon City – A possible capacity-building assistance for the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ (AFP) Human Rights efforts is seen by European Parliament member, Norica Nicolai who met with AFP Human Rights Office (AFPHRO) Chief, Brig. Gen. Domingo J. Tutaan Jr. along with other Key Military Officials, Tuesday at the AFP General Headquarters, here.

Nicolai expressed her enthusiasm for future cooperation and assistance for the AFP after validating on-going efforts of the military in addressing Human Rights issues among its ranks.

Brig. Gen. Tutaan led the activity by presenting the various reforms the AFP has instituted in order to promote a human rights-protective culture in the defense and security sector. He was accompanied by Representatives from the AFP Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil-Military Operations, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, and the AFP Judge Advocate General, Col. Marian Aleido.

“It surprised us that Madame Nicolai was already well-aware of our efforts in promoting and protecting the Human Rights (HR), and all our undertakings on the adherence to the International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and the Rule of Law (ROL). This indicates that the AFP’s ‘HR-IHL-ROL’ advocacies have already reached the international community thus opening our windows for more possible avenues for assistance and collaborations,” Brig. Gen. Tutaan said.

Nicolai who recently expressed interest to call on several Philippine officials to discuss certain aspects of the Philippine – European Union (PH-EU) relations is also the Rapporteur on the Ratification of the PH-EU Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA).

On the other hand, Undersecretary Severo S. Catura, Executive Director of the Presidential Human Rights Committee (PHRC) under the Office of the President has expressed that the meeting indicates well to the partnership the Philippines has with the EU on matters delving on human rights, and may also pave the way for future cooperation and capacity building efforts for the AFP.

Aside from AFP’s efforts to address human rights issues, and its adherence to the International Humanitarian Law and Rule of Law, BGen Tutaan presented the AFPHRO’s ongoing programs relative to education and training, publications, foreign exposure, and other cooperation with the EP on HR-IHL-RoL matters.

Strengthening of the AFP Human Rights Office

The AFP is continuously strengthening its Human Rights Office which has been replicated to all levels of commands; from the division, brigade, and down to the battalion level in order to address human rights issues and concerns.

In pursuit of effectively and efficiently addressing human rights violation cases being reported to the AFP, the military has undergone significant reforms anchored with its new campaign plan, the IPSP Bayanihan.

The AFPHRO has been consistent in its campaign programs pertaining to HR-IHL-RoL. This is reflected in the advocacy lectures and seminars about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other international human rights bills being conducted regularly by the AFPHRO amongst soldiers particularly those assigned in the field.

Human Rights Advocacy Education and Training within AFP Members

The AFP through the HRO is also very active in teaching AFP personnel assigned in garrisons and in the field about local laws pertaining the Human Rights. The AFPHRO has also been closely coordinating with other government agencies, human rights advocacy groups and Local Government Units (LGUs) to spread the military's advocacy on Human Rights.

The Office continuously conducts a series of advocacy and training seminars in all AFP area commands and units in the field. The seminars are focused on raising the awareness as well as informing soldiers about the principles of the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CAHRIHL). It also teaches the soldiers about the proper process of filing complaints against the enemies who committed violations of this agreement.

Human Rights courses and modules are also being taught as pre-entry courses to civilians who intend to join the military. This is also done in military schooling and is taught at the AFP Command and General Staff College (CGSC), one of AFP’s premier training institutions tasked to train senior leaders and key officers who are about to take or assume command and sensitive staff positions in the AFP.

Meanwhile, the AFP Chief of Staff sees the meeting as an advantage for the military organization’s part.

“We see this as another avenue for us to expound and reaffirm our commitment towards the protection and promotion of Human Rights, and adherence to the International Humanitarian Law and Rule of Law. The AFP recognizes that the respect for human rights is at the core of the Internal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP) Bayanihan. In order for our soldiers to be guided with the right values and advocacy, the military continues to invest extensively in human rights,” AFP Chief of Staff, Gen. Jessie D. Dellosa said.

MILF organizes groups to explain the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro

November 3, 2012 News: Maximizing its vast number of workers, despite the lack of sufficient logistical support, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has organized six groups to undertake massive information drive to explain the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro.

Members of the MILF number several hundreds of thousands throughout Mindanao, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Palawan.

Sheikh Mohammad Muntassir, head of the Da’wah Department of the MILF, told Luwaran that the six groupings are given their respective assignments as follows: Sulu-Tawi-Tawi-Basilan, the Zamboanga Peninsula, the Lanao area, the Davao area, Maguindanao-Cotabato area, and South Cotabato area.

He disclosed that members of the MILF Central Committee were assigned and distributed to the six groupings and will be the lead discussants.

Earlier, however, senior members of the MILF Central Committee and members of the MILF Peace Panel held a one-day forum on the Agreement.

Mohagher Iqbal, MILF chief peace negotiator, told Luwaran that understanding the Agreement is not easy, saying that it contained provisions that are constructed ambiguously to give both parties elbow rooms  or space for movement; "room to pass"; or "make way for".

He added that sometimes the rigidity of meaning in literal construction is posing serious problems to both sides in trying to address the concerns of special audiences.

Meanwhile, some 600 MILF political and military leaders including some MNLF foreign-trained commanders attended the one-day seminar in Darapanan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao last October 31. Most of the senior leaders of the MILF led by Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim attended the forum.

Sulu and Tawi-Tawi are fast becoming an MILF territory as more and more individuals and groups are joining the MILF after signing of the Framework Agreement.

One former MNLF leader described the Agreement as “amazing” and “historic”.
