TAWI-TAWI | HUMAN RIGHTS CARAVAN: HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION ON INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW FOR SECURITY SECTORS

As part of the Commission’s continuing efforts to strengthen human rights education and promote a deeper understanding of the obligations of duty bearers in upholding human rights and humanitarian principles in the performance of their respective mandates, the Bangsamoro Human Rights Commission–Tawi-Tawi Provincial Office (BHRC-TTPO), under the leadership of Acting Provincial Director of BHRC-TTPO, Mr. Mohammad Ghamidi I. Amilasan, JD, successfully conducted the Human Rights Caravan: Human Rights Education on International Humanitarian Law for Security Sectors (Duty Bearers) on 30 July 2026 at Rachel’s Place Hotel and Restaurant, Barangay Lamion, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi.

This activity featured a series of substantive discussions facilitated by distinguished resource persons from the Mindanao State University–Tawi-Tawi College of Technology and Oceanography (MSU-TCTO) College of Law. Ms. Suelyn Jumdail discussed International Humanitarian Law, providing participants with an understanding of its fundamental principles and application in situations of armed conflict.

The succeeding session on Valid Search and Arrest was delivered by Ms. Rukkaya Darul, highlighting the importance of lawful procedures and the protection of individual rights in the exercise of law enforcement powers. The afternoon sessions featured discussions on Republic Act No. 9745, or the Anti-Torture Law, delivered by Ms. Zharimae Abdulgani, emphasizing the legal safeguards against torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.

This was followed by a discussion on Republic Act No. 9344, or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act, facilitated by Mr. Abdul Aziz Untong, which underscored the importance of protecting the rights and welfare of children in conflict with the law and ensuring that appropriate child-sensitive and rights-based mechanisms are observed.

The activity brought together participants from the security and duty-bearing sectors, providing an important platform for strengthening their knowledge of applicable human rights laws, international humanitarian law, and legal standards governing the exercise of their functions. The open forums and workshop further encouraged meaningful discussion and reflection on the practical application of these principles in the field.

This activity reflects the Commission’s continuing commitment to strengthening the capacity of duty bearers and promoting a culture of human rights, accountability, and respect for human dignity in Tawi-Tawi and the Bangsamoro. Through sustained human rights education, the Commission continues to empower duty bearers to carry out their responsibilities within the bounds of law, with accountability, and with full respect for the rights and dignity of every person.

Human rights are not only rights to be protected—they are responsibilities to be upheld.

Their active participation, insights, and engagement during the discussions and workshop contributed to a meaningful exchange of perspectives and strengthened the youth’s role as partners in human rights advocacy and peacebuilding.

The activity was formally concluded by the closing remarks from Ma’am Nur-Saiyida U.
