Resoluciones de la Cámara buscan el regreso de Filipinas a la CPI

Legisladores de la oposición en la Cámara de Representantes han presentado resoluciones que buscan la reactivación de la membresía de Filipinas en la Corte Penal Internacional. La administración Duterte retiró la membresía del país en marzo de 2018. Las resoluciones buscan reafirmar el compromiso con los derechos humanos y la justicia.

En Manila, representantes del bloque Makabayan —los diputados Renee Co, Antonio Tinio y Sarah Jane Elago— presentaron ayer la Resolución de la Cámara 809 para instar al gobierno a reincorporarse a la Corte Penal Internacional mediante la reacesión al Estatuto de Roma. Mientras tanto, los representantes de Akbayan Perci Cendaña, Chel Diokno, Dadah Kiram Ismula y la diputada de la isla de Dinagat Kaka Bag-ao presentaron la RC 811 con el mismo propósito. La resolución de Makabayan afirma que “reincorporarse a la CPI enviaría un mensaje claro y contundente de que Filipinas honra sus obligaciones constitucionales, respeta la santidad de la vida y está comprometida a romper el ciclo de impunidad y violencia estatal”. Agrega que esto fortalecería la reputación global del país como una democracia respetuosa de los derechos, restauraría la confianza internacional en el sistema judicial filipino y robustecería las asociaciones basadas en la justicia y la buena gobernanza. Como la voz electa del pueblo filipino, la Cámara está obligada a defender la justicia, la verdad y la transparencia, declararon los legisladores. La RC 809 cita la Sección 17, Párrafo 2 de la Ley de la República 9851, que permite a las autoridades filipinas prescindir de investigaciones si la CPI las maneja y extraditar a los sospechosos en consecuencia. Cendaña dijo que volver a la CPI sería un acto de solidaridad con las víctimas de ejecuciones extrajudiciales bajo la administración Duterte. — Ghio Ong, Ramon Efren Lazaro
