Madam President, Gloria Arroyo’s succession to the Philippines Presidency after former President Estrada’s impeachment trial on corruption charges, and her eventual election in May 2004, have brought some improvements to the country, particularly in terms of security. The Government of the Philippines has degraded the military effectiveness of Islamist terrorists in the south-east, and negotiated a peace accord with one group and an ongoing ceasefire with another. However, for some time, sadly there has been a series of murky extrajudicial killings, allegedly carried out by the security forces. The government rightly recognised this as a very serious matter and ordered appropriate investigations.
This resulted in a series of recommendations this February from Justice Melo’s independent commission, set up specifically to address this issue, followed by a six-point government-endorsed plan to stop further human rights abuses and end the existing climate of impunity. I warmly welcome this approach, and in particular the setting-up of a dedicated police task force, Usig, to bring those in authority who have ordered human rights violations to eventual justice."@en1
