The Commission on Human Rights (CHR), as the country’s National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) with “A” status under the Paris Principles, supports House Bill No. 580, or the “Human Rights Violations Victims Compensation Act,” subject to its recommendations. The proposed measure seeks to provide monetary and non-monetary compensation to victims of grave human rights violations, recognizing their right to adequate, effective, prompt, and appropriate reparation. The CHR emphasizes that reparation should be victim-centered and proportional to the gravity of the violation and the harm suffered, and may take various forms depending on the needs of victims, their families, and affected communities, consistent with Philippine laws and international human rights obligations.
