	GR No. 175352 2011-01-18	DANTE V. LIBAN v. RICHARD J. GORDON LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
So must this Court recognize too the country's adherence to the Geneva Convention and respect the unique status of the PNRC in consonance with its treaty obligations. The Geneva Convention has the force and effect of law.[21] Under the Constitution, the Philippines adopts the generally accepted principles of international law as part of the law of the land.[22] This constitutional provision must be reconciled and harmonized with Article XII, Section 16 of the Constitution, instead of using the latter to negate the former.
