Topic: Prayer & Action for Just Peace in the Philippines: A Commemoration of the Hague Joint Declaration
Friends in faith,
We are pleased to announce the next event in the calendar of the ICHRP International Interfaith Network, a network of dozens of faith organizations and individuals from around the world who are united in defending human rights in the Philippines. This upcoming webinar is being held collaboratively with the National Council of Churches in the Philippines.
September 1 is fast approaching. This is the date in 1992 on which the Hague Joint Declaration was signed between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines. This marked an important step in the initiation of peace talks in the Philippines, a process which has continued through starts and stops up until the present. This webinar will focus on the importance of the Hague Joint Declaration of 1992, as well as the current status of peace in the Philippines – particularly the rampant violations of human rights and international humanitarian law carried out by the GRP.
This year, the Interfaith Network has also marked September 1 as an international day of prayer for just peace in the Philippines, in response to a call from the NCCP. You can find more information about this, and learn how to participate in the day of prayer, at ichrp.net/DayOfPrayer.
