Basic Principles
of Human Rights

First : “None of us asked to be born. And regardless of who
our parents are and what they own, all of us are born equally
naked and helpless, yet with his own hand, his own will and
talents”.
? All of us have equal rights to life, and share the same
inherent human dignity. Thus we all have the right to life, to
dignity and develop ourselves.
- These are traditionally known as the rights of men.

Second: “Even if we
may not know who
our parents are, we
are never born
without parents, and
never outside
society, a society
with its own peculiar
culture, history and
resources”.

Third : “Once a society reaches a
certain degree of complexity, as
almost all societies have, society can
act only through government. But a
government always acts as agent
of the society; it never becomes the
society it self; it never becomes the
people themselves.

WHAT IS HUMAN RIGHTS-BASED
POLICING?

RIGHTS-BASED POLICING
? Compliance with Local and International human rights
standards in policing.
? Police Officers are DUTY-BEARERS with obligations to
respect, protect and fulfill human rights. Strengthening
their capacities is also a must in order for us to empower
the claim-holders.
? Citizens are CLAIM-HOLDERS whose rights must be
respected and protected by the police. There is also a
need for them to be empowered so that they will
learn on how to claim their rights

Characteristics of
Human Rights-Based Policing

1. Strict observance to Police Policies and Operational
Procedures
When police officers follow and apply proper
procedures, they uphold human rights while doing all that is
possible to ensure that the subsequent case to be filed in
court against a suspect would prosper, in the higher interest
of justice.
2. Adherence to National, Domestic and International Laws,
Treaties, Standards, and Protocols on Human Rights
? PNP personnel must know, understand and adhere to
local laws related to human rights, like, but not limited to
RA7438, RA9745, RA9851
? international human rights standard.

3. Professional Competence and Courteous Service
A Police or Law Enforcement Professional must:
? have a high degree of practical knowledge about
laws and ordinances, police policies and
regulations, and police operational procedures;
? and must be courteous and considerate.
4. Respect for Rule of Law and Civilian Supremacy
All police officers must always remember that “…
sovereignty resides in the people and all government
authority emanates from them.”
5. Pro-Democracy and Pro-Citizen
The PNP must always remain responsive and relevant
to the needs of the community.

BASIC STATE OBLIGATIONS
? To RESPECT human rights
- avoid interfering with the enjoyment of people’s rights.
? To FULFILL human rights
- implement systems, mechanisms, and procedures
that enable people to claim and enjoy their rights.

allow others from interfering with the exercise of the
rights by another

A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in
a cage and in the middle, a ladder with
bananas on the top.

Every time a monkey went up the
ladder, the scientists soaked the rest
of the monkeys with cold water.

After a while, every time a monkey
went up the ladder, the others beat
up the one on the ladder.

After some time, no monkey dare to
go up the ladder regardless of the
temptation.

Scientists then decided to substitute one of
the monkeys. The 1st
thing this monkey did
was to go up the ladder. Immediately the other
monkeys beat him up.
After several beatings, the new
member learned not to climb the
ladder even though never knew
why.

A 2nd
monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st
monkey participated on the beating for the 2nd
monkey. A 3rd
monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beaten).
The 4th
was substituted and the beating was repeated and
finally the 5th
monkey was replaced.

What was left was a group of 5 monkeys
that even though never received a cold
shower, continued to beat up any monkey
who attempted to climb the ladder.

If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would
beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder,
I bet the answer would be…
“I DON’T KNOW --- THAT’S HOW THINGS ARE DONE
AROUND HERE.”
Does it sound familiar?
