an investigation into widespread killings in the Philippines, perpetrated under President Rodrigo Duterte’s violent anti-illegal drug campaign.
“The Chamber observes that it is also apparent, on the basis of the supporting material, that the attack took place pursuant to or in furtherance of a State policy,” the ICC pre-trial chamber said. The Philippine National Police also appeared to have ignored its own operational procedures and international standards concerning the use of lethal force.
The pre-trial chamber also mentioned the apparent encouragement from other officials: “The Chamber also notes that there is information that others, and in particular [then] Philippine National Police chief Ronald Dela Rosa, made similar statements, declaring that killing those involved in drugs was the intention in the so-called ‘war on drugs’ campaign.
The ICC also said that the decrease in the number of killings following the periods when the campaign were suspended in the past show that “the killings occurred in execution of, or because of, the state policy.” 5. There is ‘apparent unreliability and arbitrariness’ in the use of drug watch lists This is affirmed by the ICC pre-trial chamber in its decision, which said that supporting material established that the drug war “affected certain segments of the population disproportionately.”
“The Prosecutor submits and the supporting material establishes sufficiently at the present stage, that the targeted victims were civilians suspected of being connected to illegal drug activities, such as persons on drug watch lists, persons who had been publicly identified as drug personalities, and those who had previously surrendered to authorities as part of Operation Tokhang,” it said.
So true... and he's always bragging about it...that he will kill addicts even if he is no longer president. But he lets the druglords go scot free like his kumpare
If it is from RAPPLER...well it must be a lie apart from being the worst... Trust us. These people seat on money while their souls are filled with burning fuel, bending the truth to paint a hologram of lies... Hades in letters, literature and publication. 🤸⛹️🤾🏋️🧘🧑🦯🧎🧍🚶🏃
