The Commission on Human Rights on Wednesday, October 20, reminded the Duterte government not to ignore the thousands of victims killed under the violent war on drugs, as the Department of Justice released information about cases it is investigating.that featured 50 drug war-related deaths, CHR spokesperson Jacqueline de Guia said that ensuring justice for all victims of"widespread and systematic" human rights violations is a"primary state obligation.
These investigated cases, however, are but a small part of the total number of deaths under President Rodrigo Duterte's violent war on drugs. Official government data shows there were 6,191 deaths in police anti-drug operations alone as of September 31. "If anything, this only raises the question as to what happened with all the other cases, whether those were investigated or are being investigated, and whether the government is willing to be transparent about them," HRW senior Philippine researcher Carlos Conde said.
"CHR stresses that the first step towards making perpetrators accountable for their offenses is through genuine and straightforward investigations," De Guia said.
