Sulong CARHRIHL
Sulong CARHRIHL is a network that monitors the government's and the Maoist rebels' compliance with the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) which the two parties signed in the Hague, The Netherlands on 16 March 1998.
The formation of Sulong CARHRIHL was initiated by the Citizen's Peace Council and the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) program on Peace, Democratization, and Human Rights. The network's main goals are:
- education and advocacy on CARHRIHL
- prevention of violations
- support for observance of human rights and humanitarian law within the CARHRIHL framework.
Sulong CARHRIHL hopes to:
- address the needs of communities and groups affected by the armed conflict
- support and sustain the peace process between the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) government and the National Democratic Front (NDF)
- provide additional avenues for constructive dialogue among the main stakeholders of the peace process: the GRP, the NDF and Philippine civil society.
