We are now determining if we are successful in this. It is mainstream to the Cafgus and we would like their graduation from the MNSA. We have also undeftaken a lot of efforts jointly with CS0s and to evaluate this up to the end of the year and go back to the ICRC and CPHMC io hit other areas. We NCOs in terms of IHL advocacy. were tempted to have a projected actlvity of the same il and we look This is mainstreaming what we are able to do on a collective effort, with the common goal of having advocacy for IHL Aside from thal we have a lot of undertakings, joint government offices and agencies fonvard to having this, probably on the first or second CPHMC, PHRC, CHR on that matter. lt is not simply quarter of 2013. because nature in Bicol or in Samar with our partners with Sulong CARHRIHL but because of certain activities or events we were not able to pursue I get scared of Chairperson Rosales, but because we have to comply with this and we have Another aspect is our publications. We borrowed two booklets from CSI IHL These were probably prepared by our main speaker this morning Prof Roque. This is the Primer on IHL which is placed in the Philippine context and Republic Act 9851, which is also based on what a soldier like me would experience on a day to day basis. The purpose is not to simply comply with provisions of RA 9851 or with lHl- but for me to know why I have to comply, why I am mandated to do il because I am a state actor and I have state responsibility. What the non-state actor does in violation of this is not to supposed to be a reason for me to violate the same, and that is what we are imparting to our soldiers. And because these other publications are our essentials for our commanders. This is to tell the commanders what are their responsibilities and what they have to undertake as far as the law of armed conflict or IHL is all about This is more for the individual soldiel the code of conduct of the combatant We had the help of the ICRC and the back part of it was the first aid. And this is more or less a water resistant booklet so that if you put it in your pockef and you get rained over by the monsoon rains then it will not be destroyed that easily. There is a new 2012 version of this and we are still waiting for the 3000 copies that you're going to give us. We also have appropriate forums where we impart what IHL is all about We have senior leadership courses or senior leaders conferences, the council of sergeant majors, the major service command conferences, company commanders forum, battalion commanders forum and even in the symposia that the MNSA has, the masters in National Security Administration that is being undertaken in NDCP. was an instructor for those civilians who are going I to be part of the reseruists of the Armed Forces after made a commitment and that is what l'm scared aboul that we may lose on this commitment that we are always giving, pronouncing and we are not be able to undertake what we are pronouncing. What we included in the package is a magazine from ICRC which is putting words into actions wherein we undertake what we are saying, or practice what we preach and preach what we are practicing. We have taken another big leap with our other efforts in IHL lt was a little sidelined; this is integrating the law project We had a project with ICRC which is a part of our instructional flle. This is integrating the law in military operations. This started in 2009 and early this year we tried to enhance it by having a similar activity in Mindanao and in Visayas. We were able to undertake this and to make sure that the integration cycle of the lnternational Humanitarian Law, what was being prescribed by IHL itself and ICRC This is the cycle on doctrine, education, training and equipment and sanctions. We feel that it is important because the cycle in itself is the very essence of what IHL is able to do. On a fun note as far as IHL is concerned is the celebration of the IHL month. Last August we had a fun run, the soldiers ran and we were on the stage having fun. But the point is, it is to make IHL something that can be viewed not as a constraint but something that is not hard for a soldier like me or soldiers like them to accept lt is very simple. lf you look at IHL it is simply distinction, proportionality and limitation. lf you talk about RA No. 9851 its just Chapter 3, Section 4, Number 2, because thats the situation of non-international armed conflict and the succeeding paragraphs after that, A-L I think. lfs not hard to understand so that a general like me or Itaguyod ang IHL Sibilyan Pangalagaan
