Expectations are high that President Aquino will make a significant dent in stopping unexplained killings and disappearances and solving the many such cases wherein justice continues to elude the victims.
Much of the success of any effort to uphold human rights depends on the cooperation of the military. Along this line the President should make sure that a thorough, credible investigation is conducted on the killing of prominent botanist Leonardo Co last Monday in a forest in Leyte.
