On the IPT 2024

The International Peoples Tribunal 2024 is a quasi-judicial forum that aims to investigate and address alleged war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law committed by the US-supported Marcos Jr. and Duterte regimes.

The IPT 2024 follows a long history of peoples’ tribunals that have shaped international public opinion and tried various regimes on crimes against humanity. The IPT takes inspiration from the Russel Tribunal, also known as the International War Crimes Tribunal, which held two sessions in 1967 to expose the war crimes committed against the Vietnamese people. This was succeeded by the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal (PPT) that was founded in June 1979 in Italy by law experts, writers, and other intellectuals.

In this regard, the CPP Information Bureau releases a primer on the IPT 2024 to serve as guide in discussing its key findings, evidence and proceedings. Convened in May 2024 by the Friends of Filipino People in Struggle and the International Association of Democratic Lawyers in Brussels, Belgium, the tribunal addressed serious allegations of war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law committed in the Philippines.
