Join us on April 15/16 for the launch of Not Your War Game Zone: A primer on military build up and people’s rights in the Philippines. This new primer document from the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) is a resource to help members of the international community better understand the militarization of the Philippines by the US and its allies, and the impacts this has on the rights of the Filipino people.
The launch webinar will feature members of ICHRP who will speak on the content of the primer, as well as the important role of ICHRP and all overseas solidarity allies in exposing and opposing the complicity of their governments in the militarization and brutal so-called “counter-insurgency” war being waged by the Marcos Jr. regime against its own people.
The primer being released on April 15/16 aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the growing military relationships between the Philippines and its allies in the dual context of containing China and suppressing internal dissent and resistance. It covers the long history of American intervention and military occupation of the Philippines, as well as the longstanding resistance of the Filipino people to foreign power. The primer then details the various military agreements between the US and US allies with the Philippines. Finally, it describes the various social impacts of foreign military presence and COIN in the Philippines, and the ways in which these violate the Filipino people’s collective rights.
The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines calls on members of the international community to use this resource to strengthen their understanding of the situation, and carry forward our campaigns to expose and oppose military collaboration with the brutal US-Marcos Jr. regime.
