<P><FONT color=#000099>We, the undersigned, hereby express our solidarity with
the Filipino people and our wholehearted support for the Second Session on the
Philippines under the auspices of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal, which shall
try the case of the Filipino people against the Arroyo regime and its foreign
accomplices headed by the government of the United States of America, in The
Hague, The Netherlands, on 21-25 March 2007.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000099><BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#000099>We look forward to the successful prosecution and trial
of the accused and the rendering of a just verdict for the benefit of the
Filipino people and the particular victims, within the framework of the 1976
Universal Declaration of the Rights of Peoples and international laws on human
rights and the rights of nations, with regard to the following three
charges:</FONT></P>
<OL>
<LI><FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Gross and systematic violations of civil and
political rights:</STRONG></FONT> <FONT color=#000099>Extra-judicial
killings, massacres, abductions and enforced disappearances, torture, arson,
bombings, mass intimidation, forced mass evacuation and other gross human
rights violations against individuals, organizations and communities. Most
brazen of these crimes the assassinations of unarmed political activists,
workers, peasants, women, youth, church people, journalists, lawyers, human
rights defenders and peace advocates.</FONT><BR>
<LI><FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Gross and systematic violations of economic,
social and cultural rights:</STRONG></FONT> <FONT color=#000099>Economic
plunder, including the imposition of the US policy of “neoliberal
globalization", the violation of Philippine economic sovereignty by foreign
business giants, the sell-out of the national patrimony, unscrupulous
superprofit-taking by the US and other multinational firms, debt bondage to
the imperialist banks and bureaucratic corruption of the Arroyo
regime.</FONT><BR>
<LI><FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Gross and systematic violations of the right
to national self-determination and liberation:</STRONG></FONT> <FONT
color=#000099>Transgression of Philippine national sovereignty, including
treason by the Arroyo regime, all-out war policy and use of state terrorism to
keep the Arroyo puppet clique in power and to align with the US global war of
terror and aggression, the culpability of the Arroyo regime and the US for war
crimes and crimes against humanity, the encroachment on Philippine territory
by US military interventionist forces and surrender of jurisdiction to the US
over criminal cases in the Philippines.</FONT></LI></OL>
<P><FONT color=#000099>We are confident that the outcome of the Second Session
on the Philippines will inspire the Filipino people to fight more resolutely and
vigorously than ever before for national independence, democracy, social
justice, development and peace. In this regard, we pledge to gather further
support of the people of the world for the just struggle of the Filipino
people.</FONT></P><BR><A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
