The statistical and methodological framework to be used for the paper is based on the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner’s Statistical Classification Framework18; however, the data variables to be studied, as well as the classification of the violations, were altered to fit the context of the Philippines. The UNHR OHC Framework was chosen as the methodological framework for the study because it is the tool developed and used by the UNHR OHC for monitoring human rights violations around the world. Thus, this can serve to facilitate the communication of the Philippine context to the UNHR and the rest of the world. Likewise, this framework sets itself as the springboard for the deeper analysis of the common narratives and patterns of violations using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach. The coding scheme of the adapted UNHR OHC Framework was used along with the IPA to highlight the said commonalities among the cases. The IPA was chosen given that the data gathering method used was one-on-one interviews with the families of the victims or the victims themselves of the human rights violations.
METHODOLOGY RIGHT THE WRONG, WRITE THE WRONG: IDEALS has documented around 537 cases of human rights violations since 2016 through numerous legal missions and documentations in Luzon and Visayas.
