ang leadership and expertise. It takes time to be one. And that's the important thing, and you
need a lot of study.
The agreement between the GPH panel and MILF for the first time had gender provisions. If
you look at other peace agreements, esp with the MNLF, there was none. CARHRIHL, may
gender provisions, but copies the idea of women being vulnerable/victims but not necessarily
participation. The Comprehensive Agreement ng BOL (Bangsamoro Organic Law) carried
women's participation and women's protection. And agreed by both panels. And that is very,
very important. When I interviewed the government panel, they said if it weren't for the
women, those provisions wouldn't be there. During that time it was Prof. Miriam Coronel
Ferrer, Basman, [...] Meron talagang kahalagahan ang pagkakaroon ng kababaihan.
You have 2 things: the discourse is participation and leadership, and you have the one on
sexual violence.

UNSCR 1960. Call to end sexual violence; ‘naming & shaming mechanisms (UNSG
Reports, referral to ICC, reparations).
- Dito nagkaroon ng naming and shaming mechanisms, but it only means
something if the perpetrator cares about their reputation. Meron nang idea on
transitional justice noon.
UNSCR 2106. Reiteration of current obligations; women’s participation in combating
sexual violence
- Kanina experts, ngayon kailangan naman bumaba sa ground.
UNSCR 2122. Stronger measures for women’s inclusion in peace processes to
address participation deficit.
- Participation deficit, meaning kulang talaga ang participation. Meron minsan
token women naman, there are women who participate but yung isip naman
ay [supporting the patriarchy].
UNSCR 2242. Women’s participation and sustainable peace; launch Global Study on
emerging risks such as violent extremism, terrorism, and the imperative to combat
impunity
- The Global study on WPS: there is a one-year timetable, [about] the
changing nature of conflict. Not anymore between states but internal. Not only
armed conflict is the only [source] of violence. Also the trend of wide
polarization or people differentiating each other. There are concerns of
radicalization
- But they also saw na may nadadala na sa korte regarding sexual and
gender-based violence, may international tribunal for the former Yugoslavia,
Rwanda, the ICC, that states rape and sexual violence as crimes against
humanity and as constitutive of genocide and definitely war crimes. May
transitional justice na rin.
