commitments for actions towards existing land conflicts, based on the shared
history of discrimination;
Determine and analyse the underlying causes or patterns of human rights
violation affecting Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines (IPPs) from which
database will be created that will act as a baseline of information for the
realization of the rights IPs;
Assess current programs of State and non-State actors (e.g. MILF, MNLF, CPPNDF-NPA, CPLA, Abu Sayyaf, BIFF, Maute group, CSOs, NGOs, IPOs, etc);
Increase public understanding of human rights issues of IPs in general and
their commitment to better human rights observance by government
agencies, instrumentalities, private organizations and other entities and
individuals;
Harmonize government policies affecting IP rights through ad-hoc technical
working group recommendations as approved by the national/solidarity
assembly;
Come up with a policy advisory approved by the assemblies to be convened,
and finally by the CHR Commission En Banc. This is the CHR mandate. The
policy advisories are focused on the government and other agencies (state
and non-state duty bearers). The policy advisory is based on investigation
and not on inquiry. This is given in order for them (state and non-state duty
actors) to work on their obligation to give rights to the IPs what is due them.
It is not CHR’s mandate to implement or court to solve cases.
