Philippines army accused of killing political activists

Many of the hundreds of unsolved killings of political activists in the Philippines were carried out by the military, a United Nations special envoy said yesterday.

The findings of Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, are a damning indictment of the government of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and have shaken the Filipino establishment.

Since President Arroyo came to power in 2001, at least 832 people have been killed or gone missing under mysterious circumstances, 356 of them were left-wing political activists according to a local human rights group, Karapatan.

After a 10-day fact-finding mission to the Philippines, Mr Alston said he was convinced a "significant" number of the killings could be linked to the armed forces. Although he was unable to give an exact figure, Mr Alston said: "I am certain the number is high enough to be distressing".

The Philippines has been fighting a communist insurgency by the New People's Army (NPA) that has cost 40,000 lives since 1969. Last year Ms Arroyo declared "all-out war" on the communists. The country is also facing various Muslim insurgent groups.

Mr Alston said he did not believe Ms Arroyo had personally ordered the killings, and instead laid the blame at the feet of the military. "I do not believe that there's a policy at the top designed to direct that these killings take place," he said.
The military has long claimed the unsolved killings were a purge of its own ranks by the NPA. But Mr Alston said that theory was "especially unconvincing".

"The armed forces remains in a state of almost total denial of its need to respond ... to the significant number of killings which have been convincingly attributed to them," he said.

"The impact of even a limited number of killings of the type alleged is corrosive in many ways. It intimidates vast numbers of civil society actors, it sends a message of vulnerability to all but the most well-connected, and it severely undermines the political discourse which is central to a resolution of the problems confronting this country."

Some sections of President Arroyo's government reacted furiously to Mr Alston's findings. "We will not accept that we are in denial because we opened the doors of our country to him," said the Justice Secretary, Raul Gonzalez. "That's the problem with people who come here for one week and become experts afterwards."

But other were more conciliatory. "No right-thinking government or leader will tolerate such things happening and that's the reason why we're looking into it," the Executive Secretary, Eduardo Ermita, told reporters. "It is the policy of the state to look into it and put a stop to it?"

The Philippines government ordered its own inquiry some time ago, but Ms Arroyo has refused to release the findings until now. The commission, headed by a former Supreme Court Justice, Jose Melo, is believed to have found that the killings were carried out by a small group within the military. The government has now announced that the commission's report will be released today.

Some senior officers have suggested that rogue elements within the military were responsible. But Mr Alston said if that was the case, the military "needs to... indicate what investigations and prosecutions have been undertaken in response".

The army hierarchy has reacted angrily even to the suggestion that some rogue elements may have been behind the killings. The Associated Press reported it had seen a copy of a strongly worded letter from the chief of staff, General Hermogenes Esperon, to the Justice Melo commission, in which he dismisses its findings.
