Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the indulgence of the committee. It's an important point.
I have the universal periodic review in front of me, the most recent one, from July 2012. I think the previous one was done five years ago. There are some troubling statements in here, in contrast to your testimony. In fact, there are a number of them in the 128 bullet points. I'm only going to pick out two and ask you to speak to them.
In one case, in bullet point number 80, it says:
The Philippines is gratified by the recognition of member States as well as those with observer status in the Human Rights Council for its stepped-up efforts to address such complex issues as extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and torture. The head of delegation assured States that the Philippines considered them as priority cases and was addressing all such cases through its criminal justice system....
The other one is bullet point number 22:
Concerted interagency actions have resulted in a dramatic decrease in reported incidents of extrajudicial killings and torture in the Philippines. Task Force Usig, a special unit under the Philippine National Police, along with independent stakeholders and international partners have independently verified that incidents of extrajudicial killings have clearly declined.
Would you refute that, Mr. Colmenares?
