CHR prosecutorial
powers proposed
BY RENE GENOVE
Special investigator Jesus Cañete of the Commission on Human Rights in Negros Oriental yesterday said there is need to put more teeth to the CHR in terms of prosecution.
“As of now, the CHR does not have prosecutorial powers. This program should change that, and the prosecution of violators should be its end point,” Cañete said.
He said he welcomes the move to draft the country's National Human Rights Action Plan and Program that will set the roadmap for human rights work for the next five years.
