PNP HOLDS INTERNATIONAL POLICING STANDARDS GAB
To keep abreast
with the world’s best practices on policing standards and humanitarian
law, some 20 star-rank senior police officers are in attendance to a
two-day workshop-forum on International Policing Standards and
International Humanitarian Law yesterday (May 27) in Coron, Busuanga,
Palawan.
The said activity is second of a
series of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law
workshop-forum, first conducted last September 2014 in Caticlan, Aklan,
organized by the Philippine National Police Human Rights Affairs Office
(PNP-HRAO) in partnership with the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC).
PNP OIC Leonardo A. Espina, in a
speech read for him by his representative PCSUPT Dennis P. Peña during
the opening ceremony, urged participants to continue the human
rights-related reforms and the strict observance of humanitarian laws.
Espina encouraged the participants
to maximize their efforts to ensure the cascading of information on
international policing standards and international humanitarian law to
fellow PNP personnel nationwide.
Meanwhile, ICRC Regional Police
Delegate to Southeast Asia, Daniel Agob stressed the significance of
identifying which law is applicable in a given situation by the law
enforcer. The precise and timely identification of the law is the
crucial challenge faced by enforcement agencies, hence, the continuous
dialogue and appreciation of international rules on policing.
The ICRC and PNP has worked
together on the promotion of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) since
2008 up to date. The ICRC is a neutral, impartial and independent
humanitarian organization, mandated to protect and assist people
affected by armed conflict and other forms of violence. It has
established its presence in the Philippine for over 60 years now. (PNP-PIO)
