THE GPH–M.I.L.F. AGREEMENT: HUMAN RIGHTS PROVISIONS AND POSSIBLE OVERLAPS
Abstract: The GPH – M.I.L.F.
Agreement: Human Rights Provisions and Possible Overlaps. One of the challenges
in ending non-international armed conflicts is to conclude a
peace agreement that
satisfies the need
of both parties.
A new approach to
this is the
human rights approach,
which seeks to
observe and promise to fulfil
elements of human rights as terms of peace. The ongoing peace process in
the Philippines between
the Government and
the Moro Islamic Liberation Front is seeing positive
progress, with its peace agreement provisions highly based
upon human rights.
However, there are
potential problems in implementing these provisions, as well as
overlaps with the pre-existing structure or even between the human rights
provisions themselves. This essay will observe the problems
and overlaps particularly
on provisions related
to the rights
of religion and women, and how they can be addressed.
