UN rights body OKs resolution seeking report on PH rights situation

During its 41st regular session in Geneva, Switzerland, the rights body voted to adopt the resolution filed by Iceland, among 18 countries that voted yes, including Peru and Uruguay.

Locsin called out western nations for their "arrogance," saying they pushed for the resolution "in the confidence that the world has forgotten what they did and what should have been done to them had there been a Human Rights Council." Iceland noted that 11 special rapporteurs have called for an independent investigation on the Philippine situation, releasing 33 statements. It also mentioned the sustained attacks on people and institutions defending human rights in the country.Aside from asking the High Commissioner to prepare a comprehensive report, the resolution also calls on the Philippine government to cooperate with the Office of the High Commissioner and the mechanisms of the Human Rights Council.

Tauli-Corpuz, on the other hand, was among more than 600 human rights defenders whom the Department of Justice included in a list of individuals who supposedly had terrorist connections, in a petition before a Manila court.

Bakit 18 lang? Hindi unanimous
