Figure: 9 Human Rights Violators

Intensify the human rights education in the high

risk areas in ARMM;

Remind the state that their main obligations are to

protect, respect and fulfill human rights at all

times;

The ARMM government should support RHRC’s

mandates to protect and promote human rights.

This includes the continuous operation of the

HRMCs in the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-

Tawi; and

The enforcement of the rule of law must be

performed with conviction, equality and justice.

With the situation of ARMM, the Commission recommends the

following:

TOP 10

ACCOMPLISHMENT

ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

The RHRC supports the final phase of the UN-MILF Action Plan

implementation on the recruitment and use of children. The Commission

A total of eight (8) base commands were visited by RHRC to observe,

validate and ensure that proper steps and actions are done in accordance

with the Action Plan – Benchmark 6 or the conduct of identification and

separation (Disengagement) of children that may be associated with the

three (133) individuals for their alleged participation in the September 2013

armed conflict in Zamboanga City. RHRC appears to the court as counsel,

communicate in their native Tahn Viet language. They were assisted

situation to get help from their government, and providing them

necessary documents.

Governance in Justice (GOJUST) Human Rights Project. The

project aims to strengthen the National and Regional Human

Rights Institutions and CSO’s capacity to promote

accountability and fight impunity for major human rights

violations

5. UCD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

participated by two hundred (200) children from Maguindanao,

Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. The activity
