CenterLaw calls on the EU to be reminded of the fundamental ideals on which it was founded, and its strong DNA on human rights. The EU must use the only leverage it has to push for respect for human rights and the rule of law, for the people of the Philippines.(5/5)

CenterLaw laments news reports that the European Union Ambassador to the Philippines has declared that the European Council will be willing to extend the Generalised Scheme of Preference (GSP+) privileges to the Republic of the Philippines beyond 2023. (1/5)

With the EU Ambassador’s statement, the EU has given the green light for the Philippines government to continue with impunity and lack of human rights accountability. (4/5)

This comes after the Philippines declared its unwillingness to abide by its international human rights treaty obligations as a signatory to the Rome Statute, under which it is obligated to respect the ICC’s jurisdiction over crimes committed prior to withdrawal.(3/5)

This is despite the Council’s highly critical statements against the Philippines’ dismal human rights record in previous statements.(2/5)
