THE BANGSAMORO Parliament’s Committee on Social Services and Development deliberated on two proposed bills that would uphold and protect the human rights of internally displaced persons.
The committee agreed to consolidate BTA Parliament Bills No. 20 and 32, the Rights of Internally Displaced Persons in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region Act authored by MP Atty. Laisa Alamia and the Rights of Internally Displaced Persons in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region Act authored by the Government of the Day.
The proposed measures seek to protect the rights of
Bangsamoro residents who are internally displaced during and after armed
conflict, generalized or organized violence, clan wars, political violence,
violations of human rights, development project implementation, and natural,
human-induced, and human-made disasters.
It also seeks to protect Bangsamoro residents who have
been displaced to areas outside the Bangsamoro region, as well as
non-Bangsamoro residents who have been displaced to areas within the region.
CSSD Chair Engr. Aida Silongan said the committee will
hold another meeting to discuss the schedule of public consultations for the
proposed measure. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations
