This is a legal research paper seeks to examine the framework of the Philippine justice system’s reliance on the doctrine of “presumption of regularity in the performance of official functions by public officers” which has resulted in the undue dismissal of many cases involving gross violations of human rights. As an alternative to the use of the aforesaid doctrine as a framework for deciding cases involving public officials, this paper proposes the application of the concept of “Command Responsibility” and the adoption of the rights – based principle of state accountability in cases of gross violations of human rights, with the end in view of broadening access to justice by victims. Using the Maguindanao Massacre as a case study, this paper will also prescribe the groundwork for coordinative efforts on legislating command responsibility (of both state and non state actors) and recommending greater accountability of public officers.

The SSRI is a diagnostic tool that will serve as a primary means of formulating a comprehensive and coherent reform agenda to promote and achieve over time good democratic governance of the country’s security sector. The results could produce a number of practicable policy recommendations addressed to security sector institutions as well as the country’s political leadership.
