Amnesty PH opposes lowering liability age after Tacloban school shooting

Amnesty International Philippines has come out against lowering the minimum age of criminal responsibility following a tragic school shooting in Tacloban. The organization argues that reducing the age for criminal liability won't tackle the underlying issues fueling child-related violence. Instead, they emphasize the need for more comprehensive measures that address the root causes of such violence, stressing that a legal fix alone won't solve the problem. This stance highlights the importance of a broader approach to child safety and welfare, rather than punitive measures.
