The Philippine Human Rights Act is a federal bill that aims to address human rights abuses in the Philippines by restricting U.S. security assistance to the Philippine government until certain conditions are met. The bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to determine whether Philippine security forces have committed human rights violations and provides for sanctions if such violations are found. If enacted, this bill could significantly impact U.S.-Philippines relations and influence human rights practices in the Philippines.
