“The ICC saw through the charade,” Ephraim B. Cortez, president of the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers, said in a Viber message at the weekend. “It was not persuaded by the government’s false assertions and expressed its dissatisfaction with the Philippines’ supposed effort to investigate these killings.”
Mr. Cortez said the ICC’s decision to continue the investigation showed there is evidence of human rights abuses. “With this action, the government should reconsider its position not to cooperate with the ICC.” The United Nations Rights Committee has said the Philippines should comply with international human rights mechanisms and cooperate with the ICC’s drug war probe.
“Failing to protect former President Duterte would definitely antagonize Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio.”Mr. Duterte would try to block the ICC probe of his deadly drug and not allow foreign interference, his lawyer Herminio L. Roque, Jr. said last year. The Commission on Human Rights on Saturday said the ICC probe was an opportunity for the government to show its commitment to human rights and transparency.
Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin C. Abalos, Jr. earlier urged top-level cops to quit their jobs to cleanse its ranks of a “deep infection” of the illegal drug trade.
