Adventures of Isabel

The UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions (now there’s a job title) has just released his report on the Philippines. I realize that some of you may have actual lives, but I’m pretty excited it’s out, and I know human rights activists in the Philippines are too. The report doesn’t say anything that hasn’t been said before, and I’m not too optimistic about it having much of an effect internationally or even in the Philippines, but it’s some strong words from a credible source, and it certainly can’t hurt.
