PRLS Special Series 003 examines BLGC’s provisions on Peace and Order

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) has seen notable progress in its peace and order due to the effective responses of the national and regional government.

PRLS Special Series 003, “Prospect of the Bangsamoro Local Governance Code (BLGC) in Sustaining Peace and Order in BARMM”, identifies the gap between the BLGC’s mandates on peace and order and addresses the realities of violent extremism in the region.

To strengthen the BLGC’s provisions on violent extremism, this paper highlights BARMM’s successful reintegration efforts to improve its peace and order council. This paper is part of the PRLS Special Series on Mandanas, which explores different implications of decentralization and its aspects as realized in the BARMM context.
