Support the International People's Tribunal!

From May 17-18, 2024, an urgent International People’s Tribunal (IPT) will take place. The tribunal is jointly convened by the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) and Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle (FFPS). The theme and title of the tribunal will be:

Katarungan: The Filipino People vs US Government, and the Marcos and Duterte regimes (An International War Crimes Tribunal on the US-directed Counterinsurgency in the Philippines)

The purposes of the IPT will be to heighten international condemnation and isolation against the US-Duterte and US-Marcos regimes for their widespread violations of International Humanitarian Law, to underscore the repressive character and role of US imperialism in the Government of the Republic of the Philippines’ (GRP’s) counterinsurgency war against the Filipino people, to educate the international community on the just cause and legitimacy of the Filipino people’s struggle for national liberation, and to broaden international support for the cause of a just and lasting peace in the Philippines as led by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).

In order to make this event happen, we need your help! We are raising funds to cover the airfare and travel costs of witnesses who have seen the war crimes of the Duterte and Marcos regimes up close, as well as lawyers and other human rights advocates. We are also raising funds to cover the costs of publication for the findings of the tribunal. Will you support our efforts, and in doing so, support the Filipino people’s struggle for a just and lasting peace?
