Policy Briefing Paper #13: Human Rights in the Philippines
Having signed and ratified all of
the seven core international human rights treaties and a number
of their protocols, and as a member of the United Nations Human
Rights Council (HRC), the Philippines portrays the positive image
of a South East Asian democracy that respects human rights. However,
for human rights activists, church workers, journalists, and progressive
opposition parties, the reality is very different.

on Human Rights
We bring informed analysis and policy recommendations to government
officials and human rights bodies.
We aim to achieve the protection and promotion of human rights
in certain regions and focus countries including: Colombia, Guatemala,
Sudan, Kenya, Indonesia, East Timor, Sri Lanka and Burma.
We provide support and accompaniment to partners in their international
human rights advocacy work. Many partners face threats of violence
as a result of their work.
We respond to urgent situations and emergency responses in specific
regions and countries.
We collaborate with Canadian and international NGOs and other
groups to raise specific issues of concern. For example, we watch
corporate involvement in zones of conflict such as Sudan and Colombia.
