International Human Rights Law and Human Rights Law in the Philippines
In this book’s Part One on International Human Rights Law, it is fascinating to note how Rey starts with some historical and even philosophical discussion, and then ends with Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender (LGBT) Rights In Part Two on Human Rights Law in the Philippines, he starts with its constitutional history before going to the Constitution’s Bill of Rights of the libertarian tradition of civil and political rights, followed by its Social Justice Article reflecting the new or second generation economic, social and cultural rights. One gets a sense of convergence, correspondence or counterparting between the earlier discussed (in Part One) “International Bill of Rights” and the current 1987 Philippine Constitution.
