by eviction and resettlement programmes. Nonetheless, the evidence base of the review is significant and has identified some alarming trends in government practice. FINDINGS The review has found that the various human rights protections embedded in Philippine legislation generally promote the incorporation and enforcement of international standards during evictions and resettlement. However, and notwithstanding the existence of these protections, the review has identified numerous government failures to protect the human rights of those affected by eviction and resettlement schemes. Part A of these findings identifies the following deficiencies in Philippine law and government practice: Finding A1: Protections for marginalised groups from the effects of discrimination during evictions and resettlement are inadequate Finding A2: Punitive evictions are provided for at law and present in government practice Finding A3: Communities are not genuinely or adequately consulted prior to eviction and resettlement Finding A4: Communities are not provided with adequate notice prior to evictions Finding A5: Adequate opportunities for on-site resettlement and restitution are not available Finding A6: Adequate compensation is not made available to evicted and resettled communities Finding A7: Adequate resettlement is not provided to those subject to eviction Finding A8: Adequate legal aid and effective remedies are not made available to those subject to eviction and resettlement Part B of the findings also identifies the following institutional deficiencies that, while not directly relevant to specific rules of international human rights law, create an environment that serves to inhibit the enjoyment of human rights during evictions and resettlement: Finding B1: The devolution of eviction monitoring and dispute resolution functions to local government has reduced compliance with the human rights protection regime and promotes a conflict of interest within local government Finding B2: The distribution of authority for evictions and resettlement across a wide range of government entities provides opportunities for non-compliance with the human rights protection regime A summary of the key findings of the review can be found in Chapter 9. xi
