“The Duterte regime harps on its desire for ‘peace’ while mouthing preconditions that violate previous agreements in the peace process and that will never resolve the root causes of the state of unpeace in the country. It has also relentlessly committed human rights violations on the ground, including the fake terror list which has endangered more than 600 individuals. Its propensity for double-talk is testament to its insincerity in pursuing just and lasting peace,” said Karapatan Deputy Secretary General Roneo Clamor on the recent statement of Presidential Peace Adviser Jesus Dureza on the peace talks between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines.
