Human Rights, Elusive or Illusive?
Human Rights, Elusive or Illusive?
Sixty years have passed since the promulgation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and 22 years after the ouster of the Marcos dictatorship. But the situation in the country is characterized more by violations of human rights rather than its protection and promotion. And it is the worst forms of human rights violations that are being committed with impunity: enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the arbitrary denial of liberty through the filing of trumped up charges.
Are human rights, therefore, elusive or illusive?
