UN rapporteur hears update on IP evacuees in Davao church compound
DAVAO CITY – A partylist lawmaker from Mindanao brought up the situation of the indigenous people evacuees in a church compound here in a meeting with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons.
Dr. Chaloka Beyani, UN SR on IDPs, is on his official visit in the Philippines to look into the human rights situation of IDPs, and examine government’s responses to internal displacement, including law and policy frameworks and governance structures.
