For the Government of the Philippines to let concerned agencies implement policy reforms and relevant
counsel resulting from credible investigations, ensuring that justice will be served with these actions;
For the Philippine National Police, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, and other concerned stakeholders to
empower independent investigative bodies by enshrining accountability and transparency in their
respective organizations;
For the media to share evidence-based materials, refrain from fanning the flames of violence through
sensationalism and let responsible journalism allow the truth to prevail;
For civil society to remain level-headed and forward-looking in addressing the repercussions of violent
encounters, disseminate accurate information while empowering individuals and communities to seek
redress without resorting to brute force, and offer a safe and secure place for differing opinions to blend
and integrate into progressive actions;
Peace without justice is not only false, futile and a sham. It will not lead to genuine healing. We call for
unity to dispel the discord and doubt that seriously threaten the conditions for peace.
There is no gain in calling for more bloodshed to avenge the fallen heroes and warriors, especially when
more lives may be endangered by perpetuating the cycle of violence. Amidst the grief, let this tragedy
stimulate a stronger commitment and renewed fervor in working for peace.
JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF ALL VIOLENT CONFLICTS!
END VIOLENCE IN MINDANAO AND CONFLICT AREAS AROUND THE WORLD!
