A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) is a rebel group that was founded by Nur Misuari in 1969. The MNLF struggled against the Philippine Government to achieve independence of the Bangsamoro Land . The MNLF-GPH Peace Process is ongoing since the 1976 and both parties are working together to negotiate the terms and conditions of the legal framework and implementation of genuine autonomy as a peaceful path towards independence. As defined by the MNLF, the territory of Bangsamoro Land covers Sulu, Mindanao, Palawan, and Sabah.

MNLF is internationally recognized by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC, formerly the Organization of the Islamic Conference) and its Parliamentary Union of OIC Member States . Since 1977, the MNLF has been an observer member of the OIC. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation is the second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations, and has membership of 57 states spread over four continents. The Philippine Government also requested similar recognition as observer member but was denied by the OIC. On 30 January 2012, MNLF became an observer member of the Parliamentary Union of Islamic Cooperation , as approved during the 7th PUIC global session held in Palembang, Indonesia.

The founder and leader of the MNLF is Prof. Dr. Nur Misuari. Based on almost all official

    The theme explored in this section is America in the World. The annexation of the Philippines produced a far more controversial debate than the annexation of Puerto Rico, due to the fact that the Philippines was much farther from the U.S. than Puerto Rico, and seemed much more ominous to Americans. To take control of this territory seemed too aggressive, beyond the limits of what was acceptable for the U.S., for many Americans. President McKinley believed there were no alternatives to annexation, as he viewed Filipinos incapable of self-government. To return the territory to Spain, from his perspective, would be cowardly. The Treaty of Paris formally ended the war with Spain, that confirmed the armistice regarding Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam,…

    Ethnic Group Conflict

    • 1786 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Cultural clashes, global wars, international misunderstandings, and ethnic conflicts have been occurring for decades. As early as the 1940s, constant hostility within the Middle East has resulted in suffering to human rights, education, and family structure (Huntington, Fronk & Chadwick, 2001). Culture seems to be implicated as the major contributor to conflict. The increasing modernization is strongly intertwined in this process, as it challenges traditional ideas, conservative values, and educational obstacles. How and why ethnic group conflicts occur will be illustrated in this paper by comparing and examining two ethnic groups at war. The concept of conformity and its relations to the ethnic groups will be explained as well as the kinship between social perception and social cognition. In addition, the necessary social perceptions for the resolution of the conflict will be discussed.…
