The families of drug war victims and human rights advocates scored a moral victory when, in September 2021, the International Criminal Court authorized an official probe into President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody campaign against illegal drugs.
The Hague-based tribunal will also look into vigilante-style killings in Davao City from November 1, 2011 to June 30, 2016 — back when Duterte was still its vice mayor and mayor. The ICC said it has information there were 385 victims of extrajudicial killings in the region from 2011 to 2015., saying the court no longer has authority to look into the country's affairs after it left the Rome Statute in 2019.
Majority of the policemen involved were suspended. Some were demoted and dismissed. The Philippine National Police said it will continue to cooperate with the DOJ in its investigation. The DOJ is also looking into around 300 other cases from the last decade that will help the agency in its review of other areas of concern that possibly also involve human rights violations, he added.The Free Legal Assistance Group cited data from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, saying 6,191 deaths have been reported as of August 31, 2021.
WE DONT THINK SO. INNOCENT DRUG ADDICTS VICTIMS ARE. STREETS ARE NOW SAFER THAN BEFORE. KUDOZ TO PD30 ON DRUG WAR BLOODY CAMPAIGN. ITS INEVITABLE.
