P1,000 na budget ng CHR, Kinundina ni UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard

Dismayado si United Nations’ Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard sa resulta ng botohan sa Kamara na nagresulta sa pagbibigay lang ng P1,000 pondo ang Commission on Human Rights (CHR) para sa susunod na taon. 

Tinawag ni Callamard na karapat-dapat kundenahin at wala sa katwiran ang ginawang desisyon ng pagboto ng 119 na mambabatas pabor dito. 

“Part of the Duterte administration’s attempt to prevent independent institutions to check its abuses, particularly in the context of the brutal drug war that has claimed the lives of thousands, including dozens of children,” ayon sa Human Rights Watch tungkol sa lumabas na botong 119-32 kahapon.

“Is looking for public money being wasted, damaging and hurting the Philippines, it was better off setting its sights on President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, which he has admitted has failed to curtail addiction rates even as it has created a climate of fear and insecurity, feeding impunity, and undermining the constitutional fabrics of the country,” sabi ni Callamard.

“The people of the Philippines deserve a strong independent human rights institution able to monitor, investigate, and report on human rights violations, protect victims and their families, and hold the powerful to account for their abuses of international human rights standards,”  ani Callamard. 

Dagdag ni Callamard, nararapat lang na mayroong matibay at independent na human rights institution ang Pilipinas na magbabantay, magiimbestiga at mag-uulat ng mga paglabag sa karapatang pantao at poprotekta sa mga biktima at kanilang mga pamilya.
