Annex to the Joint Submission to the UN Periodic Review of the Aktionsbündnis Menschenrechte - Philippinen List of Killed Human Rights Defenders and Journalists in the Philippines May 1, 2012 to September 20, 2016

Disclaimer: This list comprises 170 journalists and human rights defenders who were killed in 144 separate incidents in the Philippines between May 1, 2012

and September 20, 2016. Occasionally, we have also indicated relatives or bystanders who died during the assaults. Our classification of “human rights

defender” follows the definition of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) which defines them as people who,

individually or with others, act to promote or protect human rights while employing peaceful action.1 We have only included cases in which the victim’s death is

confirmed, excluding all cases of enforced disappearances. Our research is based on publicly available online sources, mostly local human rights organizations

and credible media sources. Where possible, we have cross-checked the data with our local partners and networks. We have only included killings in which a

connection to the victim’s activity as human rights defender or journalist is to be assumed. The column “Conflict Background” indicates the issue to which the

respective killing is most likely related. In some cases, several possible backgrounds have been indicated. However, since there was no reported conviction in

any of these cases, the real motives of the perpetrators cannot be verified. Finally, we have also indicated the alleged perpetrators of the killings based on the

allegations made in our sources. A verification of these allegations is again not possible due to the lack of convictions.
