4th ID troops participate in HR, IHL lectures

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 10): 4th ID troops participate in HR, IHL lectures

In line with its efforts to comply with Human Rights (HR) and International Humanitarian Law (IHL), officers and men of the Cagayan De Oro City-based 4th Infantry Division attended a symposium dedicated to the above-mentioned subjects on Wednesday.

The symposium, sponsored by the Commission on Human Rights Region 10, is part of the celebration of Human Rights Day, which takes place on Dec. 10 worldwide, said 4th Infantry Division spokesperson Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez.

Dr. Edwin P. Solis, Division Manager-Designate, CHR Regional Office 10, was the guest speaker in the event which started at 9 a.m.

Solis reiterated the provisions of HR and IHL that will help each soldier better serve the people.

“You are the protector of every Filipino, it is expected that you exemplify the character and image that is truly loved by the people. Provisions on Human Rights should already be part of your system for you to better serve every Filipino people,” Solis said.

The symposium is just one of the many activities initiated by the 4th Infantry Division for the week-long celebration of the National Human Rights Consciousness Week with the theme: “Karapatang Pantao: Igalang, Ipagtanggol, Isakatuparan."
