  • Children in Armed Conflict: Philippines
    CHILDREN IN ARMED CONFLICT: PHILIPPINES Processes and Lessons Learned | 2009-2017 Action Plan on the Recruitment and Use of Children in Armed Conflict United Nations and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front FOREWORD The successful implementation of the UN-MILF Action Plan was a significant milestone in the international community’s global commitment to fulfil the rights of children in situations of armed conflict. The eight-year implementation started in 2009 and ended in July 2017 with the disengagement of nearly 2000 children and the delisting of the MILF- BIAF from the annexes of the UN Secretary General’s Report. Reaching its completion was challenging and required tremendous effort by all involved. I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of the Government of the Philippines and the MILF leadership toward ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Action Plan. Particular appreciation is also owed to the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict for its oversight and guidance, and to the United Nations in the Philippines. We also recognize the large number of our civil society partners in Mindanao who worked tirelessly on the ground to achieve the results highlighted here. This report acknowledges their special contributions. This report is a valuable resource, locally and internationally, for understanding how to effectively implement a plan that has successfully stopped and now prevents recruitment and use of children by armed groups. However, while we celebrate this success, we must not forget that armed groups in Mindanao and many other locations around the world are still recruiting and using children in their struggles.

  • Philippines 2019 Human Rights Report
    PHILIPPINES 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Philippines is a multiparty, constitutional republic with a bicameral legislature. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, elected in May 2016, began his constitutionally limited six-year term in June 2016. Midterm elections in May for 12 (of 24 total) senators, all congressional representatives, and local government leaders were seen as generally free and fair, despite reports of violence and vote buying. The ruling party and allies won all 12 Senate seats and maintained a roughly two-thirds majority in the 306-seat House of Representatives. Barangay (village) and youth council elections originally scheduled for 2021 were rescheduled for December 5, 2022 so that local and national elections will occur in the same year. The Philippine National Police (PNP) is charged with maintaining internal security in most of the country and reports to the Department of the Interior. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), which reports to the Department of National Defense, is responsible for external security but also carries out domestic security functions in regions with a high incidence of conflict, particularly the Mindanao region. The two agencies share responsibility for counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations. The PNP Special Action Force is responsible for urban counterterrorism operations. President Duterte’s May 2017 declaration of martial law for the entire region of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago was extended until the end of the year, giving the military expanded powers in the area. Governors, mayors, and other local officials have considerable influence over local police units, including appointment of top departmental and municipal police officers and the provision of resources.
