Euro Parliament says upholding human rights beneficial for PH economy

Upholding human rights in the Philippines could be beneficial not only for the people but also for the country’s economy.

Among economic benefits that the Philippines could have if it upholds such rights is the retention of its Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus status—a scheme that grants zero-tariffs on exports to the EU. Considering that the Philippines had already been warned twice of its possible withdrawal from the GSP+ following the cases of extrajudicial killings under the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Hannah Neumann, vice president of the EP Subcommittee on Human Rights, said the next two years would be crucial for the country to retain its GSP+ status, which is set to expire in December 2022.

Aside from meeting lawmakers, human rights advocates and government officials, the delegation also visited detained former senator Leila de Lima, who they said was a victim of political prosecution.
