As the CHR joined the world in celebrating the 71st anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it vowed to remain steadfast in fighting for the rights of Filipinos.“If the Commission is disbanded, that would mean there will be no more compliance with international human rights treaties, since one of the duties and mandates of the CHR is to make sure the country is complying with [them],” he said.
“Everybody has a human right. Even if you’re a suspect, you have human rights. All you need to be is a person,” Rosales said, noting that even policemen who committed offenses in the anti-drug war have rights. Both Rosales and Diokno blamed ignorance and lack of education for the proliferation of paid trolls and for the lack of appreciation of CHR’s mandate.“People who need human rights the most are those who are vulnerable and have no way of empowering themselves. That’s the very essence of human rights — finding ways for people to empower themselves,” Diokno said.
