PB 21.3x15 cm. In 1977 the ICJ published a report entitiled 'The Decline of Democracy in the Philippines' on the violation of human rights under martial law. This is a report of a mission seven years later by an American professor of international law, a leading New Zealand lawyer, and a distinguished German specialist in comparative criminal law. In 1981 martial law was nominally lifted but many of its worst aspects have been retained, including indefinite detention without charge or trial by Presidential order. In addition, widespread human rights abuses are taking place including systematic extra-judicial killings by the armed forces in rural areas, known as 'salvaging'. The report also gives a detailed analysis of the relevant legal provisions currently in force in the Philippines. It ends with 40 recommendations for remedial action.
