US State Department criticized human rights violations in the Philippines

Washington, United States - The US State Department criticized the fact that in the Philipines an overloaded criminal justice system, a small persecution, widespread corruption and abuse of power in official posts, as well as extra-judicial killings by vigilante groups and security forces, are the most important human rights violations in the Philippines
In its report on Human Rights Practices 2014, the US State Department says that the Philippine government pursues only a few reports of human rights violations and pursuing. Also criticized is the terrorist organizations such as the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), the elements associated with the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) are linked Jemaah Islamiya (JI) and the New People's Army (NPA), as well, including the breakaway Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), just kill local government officials, security forces and civilians, the US State Department. According to the report, the Philippines has not adequately staffed personal, inefficient processes and long procedural delays in its justice system, which leads to widespread skepticism about due process and justice simultaneously. The US State Department states in its report an example, in which a court two people who killed a foreigner and deed that would normally receive a 12 to 20-year prison sentences, instead were only sentenced to probation.

Going forward, the opinion of the US State Dept. won't mean jack-squat to the RP if the US won't do jack-squat about the China land-grab just west of Palawan. What good is there to having a defense treaty if the US takes no real action?

 

Land grabbing has always been a reason to go to war. What would you do if say, they built military bases just off the coast of California?

 

I'd say the sh*t would hit the fan, big time.

 

Yep, you make some valid points. Still, the US has been the international waterways beat cop since WWII. If it didn't take on that role, the world would be a much nastier place by now. And yes, it's partly the RP's fault that they are vulnerable, and partly our doing for being an 'enabler' by virtue of being big daddy. We are also like that to other countries - it's just a means to an end = beat cop. And it's necessary.

The US needs to act. If it doesn't, the world will choose another beat cop.

 

Yep. Agree. We protect them and shoulder the expense of our military. At the very least the RP should provide free base real estate rental. It would show that the RP is a defense partner in earnest.

 

VOTE OUT THE DO NOTHING ADMINISTRATION IN POWER NOW!! THEN SEE IF POLICY CHANGES!!
