MANILA – Progressive groups welcomed the handing of guilty verdict by the International Peoples Tribunal (IPT) last Saturday, May 18, against Ferdinand Marcos Jr., former President Rodrigo Duterte, the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the United States government for war crimes against the Filipino people and for violations of the International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
In a press conference on May 19, Sunday, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Secretary General Raymond Palatino said the guilty verdict reflects the gross human rights violations under the administration of Marcos Jr. He added that gross rights violations continue because of policies implemented by the administration of Duterte as well as the military aid from the United States.
