Human Rights – 2015
2015
Minimum Implementation 
Discussions on the Bangsamoro Basic Law initially stalled after clashes with the MILF and government police forces on January 25.[1] In 2015, Congress deliberated changes to the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) but failed to pass the law in 2015.
In 2015, extrajudicial killings, child labor, torture, and disappearances remained common. The year also saw forced relocation and increased attacks against indigenous people by the military and paramilitary groups.[2]
