The NPA apparently violates again the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) after the brutal killing of Pedro Omblero, a Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) in Valencia City.
The NPA should have respected the CAFGU’s rights enshrined by the IHL as he can no longer be considered combatant because he was already captured, disarmed, and therefore has no capacity to fight off. The CPP-NDF, therefore, must discipline the NPA by enforcing rules to instill self-respect and prompt them to be wary of the IHL provisions regarding the protection of the vulnerable—women, children, the aged, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, the civilians, and non-combatants.
In a statement, BGen De Leon also urged Karapatan, which pretends to be the watchdog on IHL, to denounce the CPP-NPA and its allies for the growing number of IHL violations and the repeated killings of innocent indigenous peoples and farmers carried out by the NPA in Bukidnon.
