The need for human rights-based legislation remains significant, especially in the context of increasing challenges to human rights and civil liberties as well as the efforts for truth, justice, and accountability.

Human rights defenders, their families and communities continue to face challenges, risks and threats, compounded by impacts of counter-terrorism legislation, continuing trend of weaponization of the law, and the lack of recognition and protection mechanisms. Despite international accountability efforts, there remains a significant gap in domestic redress mechanisms to address extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and other human rights violations.

SULONG KARAPATAN will highlight the importance of key legislation in promoting human rights in governance and to articulate action points of stakeholders in the coming years.
