AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Philippines: Hold police to account for unlawful killings in "war on drugs"
30 January 2018
Responding to the news that police have resumed their role in implementing the so-called "war on drugs" declared by President Rodrigo Duterte's administration, Amnesty International's Director of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, James Gomez said:
"Since President Duterte came to power, police have unlawfully killed thousands of people, the vast majority of them from poor and marginalised communities, in attacks so extensive and brutal they may well amount to crimes against humanity. Now that police are once more returning to the forefront of anti-drug operations, the government must make sure that there is no repeat of the bloodshed seen during the past 18 months.

Philippine government's negative response to key recommendations of third UPR
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
PUBLIC STATEMENT
AI Index: ASA 35/7154/2017
22 September 2017
Amnesty International condemns Philippines' rejection of extrajudicial executions
Human Rights Council adopts Universal Periodic Review outcome on the Philippines
Amnesty International condemns the Philippine government's negative response to key recommendations it received during the country's third UPR. The government did not accept any of the 44 recommendations related to extrajudicial executions, none of the 23 recommendations calling for the Philippines to refrain from reinstating the death penalty, and none of the 13 recommendations to protect human rights defenders and journalists.
The ongoing assault on human rights, underscored by President Duterte's so-called 'war on drugs' and his violent rhetoric, raises serious doubts over the government's commitment to the protection of human rights and in particular its disregard for the right to life. It is regrettable that the Philippine government used the UPR as a platform to justify its lethal anti-drug policies, which overwhelmingly targets poor and marginalised communities, and to hide the magnitude of the number of people killed. This number has now reached many thousands, up to 12,000 according to some estimates, since President Duterte took office on 30 June 2016.
Amnesty International also finds deeply troubling the reports of lethal attacks, carried out on peace activists, human rights defenders, and journalists in the Philippines. The organisation condemns President Duterte's numerous derogatory statements and threats against human rights defenders, as well as the National Commission on Human Rights and the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. The President's statements have created an increasingly hostile environment for human rights defenders in the country.
In light of the government's apparent unwillingness to conduct investigations into cases of extrajudicial executions, Amnesty International urges the UN Human Rights Council to establish an independent commission of investigation into such cases.
Background
The UN Human Rights Council adopted the outcome of the Universal Periodic Review of the Philippines on 22 September 2017 during its 36th session. Prior to the adoption of the report of the review the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and Amnesty International delivered a joint oral statement. Amnesty International also contributed to the information basis of the review through its submission on the Philippines: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/asa35/5445/2016/en/

Gemeinsame Erklärung gegen die Wiedereinführung der Todesstrafe auf den Philippinen
Joint statement on the Philippines - reintroduction of the death penalty
Philippines: House of Representatives must uphold international law obligations ahead of first death penalty vote
Ahead of the first vote on the proposed legislative amendments to reintroduce the death penalty in the Philippines, the undersigned organizations are calling on the country’s lawmakers to uphold its international law obligations and vote against the measure. The move would set the Philippines against its positive achievements in this area and the global trend towards abolition of the death penalty.

Wiedereinführung der Todesstrafe auf den Philippinen
Die Wiedereinführung der Todesstrafe in den Philippinen wäre nicht nur ein großer Rückschritt für die Menschenrechte sondern auch eine schwere Verletzung der Verpflichtungen der Philippinen ihrer ratifiziertem internationalen Verträge und Konventionen.
Die Mitglieder des philippinischen Kongresses werden dringend aufgefordert, den Gesetzesvorlagen nicht zuzustimmen.

We believe sustained pressure on the following key Senators who are active on Twitter can have an impact. They are @bamaquino, @cynthia_villar and @sonnyangara. Please tweet them: From 9th May to 23rd May (when the latest Senate session is in session): once a week From 23rd May until 10th June (when the Senate session ends): once a day
SUGGESTED MESSAGES:
To all: Torture is rife amongst the police force. Only one perpetrator has ever been convicted. #stoptorture in #Philippines. Pass the NPM bill.
I urge @bamaquino to #stoptorture in #Philippines. Pass the NPM bill.
.@bamaquino Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.

.@sonnyangara Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.
@bigmandrilon Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.
BACKGROUND
Torture at the hands of the police in the Philippines continues with alarming frequency while those responsible are almost always allowed to evade justice. Over a year after our report, Above the law: Police Torture in the Philippines was published, very little has changed – police torture is still rampant across the country with impunity, and only one perpetrator, police officer Jerick Dee Jimenez, has been convicted since the enactment of a landmark anti-torture law in 2009. As per its obligations under the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture, the Philippines should have put the establishment of a National Preventative Mechanism (NPM) for torture in place by April 2013. A NPM bill is currently filed before the Senate and the Philippine government has an opportunity to pass this bill. It’s high time this is done. We are urging the Senate to immediately establish the NPM which is currently filed before both the Congress and Senate

Als Präsident der Philippinen muss Rodrigo Duterte die Menschenrechte schützen, nicht sie verweigern
Während der Wahlkampagne hat der jetzt gewählte Präsident der Philippinen Rodrigo Duterte eine Serie aufstachelnder Ankündigungen gemacht, die bei Verwirklichung die Philippinen in Konflikt mit ihren internationalen Menschenrechtsverpflichtungen bringen würden. Dazu gehört auch die Ankündigung, mutmaßliche Kriminelle einfach zu erschießen, um die Kriminalität zu bekämpfen. Als neuer Präsident aber müsse er aber den Zyklus der Menschenrechtsverletzungen durchbrechen, nicht die Menschenrechtslage verschlimmern.
Philippines: New President should break cycle of human rights violations, not compound them
10 May 2016, 18:23 UTC
If President-elect Rodrigo Duterte is serious about introducing change in the Philippines, he must turn his back on the history of human rights violations and end the prevailing culture of impunity, Amnesty International said today.
Rodrigo Duterte, the former Mayor of Davao city, is set to become the newly-elected President of the Philippines after leading the voting in the 9 May 2016 election.
