MARAWI CITY — Transitional Justice and Reconciliation is an integral aspect of the Annex on Normalization and is a prime feature of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro . This will benefit the Moro people and essentially glues together the entire Government of the Philippines – Moro Islamic Liberation Front peace agreement.
Since 2018, the Marawi IDPs, in partnership with various civil society organizations, have been calling for a “voluntary, safe, and dignified return” to Marawi or To fulfill Marawi’s real recovery and rehabilitation, the government should start not with rebuilding the public buildings devastated by the siege but by rebuilding the lives of the people of Marawi including their homes.
Between 2017 and 2023, Marawi IDPs were compelled to relocate almost ten times in search of stable housing and a means of subsistence. During these periods, they frequently encountered secondary and tertiary displacement events like flooding, fires, evictions, volcanic eruptions, and the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Last March 14, to highlight the call for a safe and dignified return within a transitional justice framework as a solution to the IDP’s situation in Marawi, various IDP communities and civil society groups held a Transitional Justice Summit at the Mindanao State University. One thing is clear, the IDPs themselves must be accorded meaningful participation in the planning and actual implementation of the whole Marawi rehabilitation and reconstruction process, because this will concretely define their future.
