Ping, target ngayong 2018 ang mas malakas na Anti-Terror Law

Posibleng maipasa ang mas pinalakas at mas makapangyarihang Anti-Terror Law ng Pilipinas bago matapos ang kasalukuyang taon.

Niraratsada na kasi ng Senate Committee on Public Order and Illegal Drugs sa pamumuno ni Senador Panfilo Lacson ang mga panukalang naglalayong palakasin pa ang mga nilalaman ng kasalukuyang batas laban sa terorismo, ang Human Security Act of 2007.

Sa mga panukalang dinidinig ng komite ni Lacson, mas binibigyan ng karapatan ang mga awtoridad na pag-aralan ang kilos ng mga pinaghihinalaang kalaban ng estado kasabay ng pangangalaga sa mga karapatang pantao ng mga ito.

No Time to Waste in Passing Stronger, Balanced Anti-Terror Measure

Amid the continuing threat of terrorism, there is no time to waste in passing a stronger, balanced, and useful measure to stop it, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said.

Lacson said he is working to fast-track such a measure, which gives authorities more flexibility while upholding human rights, before Congress goes on Christmas break.

“There is no time to waste. Our present anti-terrorism law, the Human Security Act, is already 11 years old, yet no person or organization has ever been prosecuted under it. From 2007 to 2018, the law’s only ‘accomplishment’ was the proscription of the Abu Sayyaf as a terrorist group,” Lacson said.

“We understand the predicament of law enforcers. All they seek is a little flexibility. But we will also make sure respect for human rights will be primordial,” he added.

Sen. Lacson’s Opening Statement at the Hearing:

“A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inactions, and in either case, he is justly accountable to them for the injury.”

This quote from the renowned political and economic thinker John Stuart Mill best captures the rationale of today’s public hearing, which seeks to amend Republic Act 9372, otherwise known as the Human Security Act of 2007.
