MANILA - Several countries have lauded the verdict on the Maguindanao massacre 10 years since the gruesome crime shocked the world, calling the historic ruling a step towards justice and addressing im

punity.

In a statement Friday, Canada said it "welcomes" the resolution of the massacre, which it described as "a direct attack on values held dear by both Filipinos and Canadians." "The convictions of those primarily responsible for this dreadful incident is an important moment in the fight against impunity and political violence. We must constantly build upon successes, such as the one in this case, and continue to uphold justice, accountability and advance the rule of law," said the Canadian Embassy in Manila.

“Historic judgement today in a case that traumatized the nation. All credit to the efforts of the Philippine Judiciary to ensure procedural integrity in this complex and challenging case,” said UK Embassy in Manila Chargé d'affaires Alastair Totty in a post on the mission's Twitter page.
