Commission on Human Rights- in the Philippines, the CHR primarily handles the
investigations of human rights violations. However, it has no power to resolve cases
as stated in the Supreme Court decision in 1991. Aside from investigations, it also
provides assistance and legal measures for the protection of human rights guided by
Section 18 Article XIII of the Philippine Constitution.
Article III of the 1987 Philippine Constitution- the law of the land that ensures the
human rights or the Filipino citizen. Also called the Bill of Rights or the rights of
every Filipino’s which includes 22 sections which declare a Filipino citizen’s rights
and privileges that the Constitution has to protect, no matter what.
Aside from various local laws, human rights in the Philippines are also guided
by the UN’S International Bill of Human Rights-a consolidation of 3 legal documents
including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the International Covenant on
Economic, Social AND Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
So those are all Universal Declaration of Human Rights list by United Nations
General Assembly. All universal human rights list above commonly known as 30
Basic Human Rights that must be respected and protected by the law.
