According to the report of Manila Bulletin, the President, former mayor of Davao City, launched a controversial war on drugs, which claimed 5,000 lives at the beginning of his term.
Duterte took a firm stand against drug dealers, reiterating the threat of killing them for destroying people’s lives. He also previously told police to use force if their lives were put in danger during anti-crime operations.
Some rights groups here and abroad have condemned alleged extrajudicial killings and other rights abuses associated with the anti-drug crackdown. A preliminary inquiry into drug-related deaths was initiated by the ICC prosecutor in 2018.
The ICC prosecutor recently reported that they found reasonable grounds to believe that alleged crimes against humanity were committed in the drug war of Duterte. A decision is set to be made early next year if it will ask for a formal investigation into the matter.
