Period for filing human rights violation claims extended until May, Palace says
February 27, 2015
President Benigno S. Aquino III has signed a joint resolution by
Congress approving a six-month extension of the period for the filing of
claims by victims of human rights violations, from November 10 last
year to May this year, the Palace announced on Thursday.
The President signed Joint Resolution No. 03 last February 17 to ensure that the goals and objectives of Republic Act No. 10368, known as The Human Rights Victims Reparation and Recognition Act of 2013, are fully achieved, Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said.
Republic Act No. 10368 “provides for the recognition and monetary and non-monetary reparation for victims whose human rights were violated by persons acting in an official capacity and/or agents of the State during, as a rule, the period of September 21, 1972 to February 25, 1986″.
This extension will give all legitimate claimants, especially in far-flung areas of the country, a full opportunity to file their claims with the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board, providing them access to a means of gaining redress for the sufferings and sacrifices that they endured during Martial Law.
