"Mr President, the law enforcement agencies and the judiciary in the Philippines are not functioning properly, as confirmed by the UN Human Rights Council in the conclusions it adopted in May. In addition, the level of violence against journalists and political activists has increased dramatically since the last review in 2008. The report by the UN Human Rights Council pays particular regard to the events in November 2009, when armed men from the Ampatuan clan affiliated with the local police prepared an ambush on citizens supporting the opposition candidate in the regional elections for provincial governor. As a result of this brutal incident, 57 people were murdered, with foreign journalists among the victims. Subsequent actions taken by the judiciary were deliberately delayed and consequently proved to be completely ineffective. Lack of efficiency goes hand in hand with a lack of transparency in the law enforcement system, casting serious doubts on its independence. Frequent unlawful killings and kidnappings still go unpunished. The Philippines must take all possible measures to protect security and guarantee law enforcement in its territory."@en1
