Posted to the MILF Website (Sep 27): Joint Normalization Committee Team holds orientation



The Joint Normalization Committee Team (JNC) headed by Mohammad Nasip from the MILF Central Committee based in Darapanan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao held orientation on normalization last September 21, 2014 at Camp Salman Alfarisee, Datu  Tumanggung, Tungangawan,  Zamboanga Sibugay Province.
   
The activity was participated by hundreds of POLCOM members from provincial level down to the barangay level including BIAF, BIWAB and SWC members.

The participants came from Kalibugan Province, Moro Province, Sibugay Province, Zamboanga city and Zamboanga Del Sur.

The International Monitoring Team (IMT) comprising Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia headed by Col. Jamaludin Jambi also attended the activity.

Mohammad Nasip said in his message that the organization of JNC has been completed the reason why they are going from one MILF Camp to another to provide information on the process of normalization. He added that Camp Salman’s 113th Base Camp is the 3rd one they have visited.

Atty.  Najib Sinarimbo, Legal Counsel of JNC team presented the functions of the JNC.  According to him, normalization is one of the most important and sensitive parts of the FAB.  He explained that normalization has three major components, namely:  Security, Socio-Economic and Transitional justice.

The security aspect is the most important part of the normalization because it includes policing, redeployment of AFP, decommissioning of MILF Combatants and disbandment of private armed groups.

On socio-economic development programs ,the  JNC  team will look into priority needs  of  the BIAF  combatants not only  for short- term livelihood programs, but  looking forward  to address  the combatants needs in term of  skills development and  financial support.

On Transitional Justice, Atty. Sinarimbo said that the JNC team is trying its best to facilitate the grant of amnesty program to members of the Moro Front who are jailed and facing criminal charges in pursuance of the political struggle of the Moro people. Human right violations committed on Moros as well as their legitimate grievances will also be addressed.

He also mentioned the submission of the modified draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) last Sept.  10, 2014 to President Benigno  Aquino III and transmitted  on the same date to Congress.
