Philippinen. Duterte: Throw UN-experts to the crocodiles

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday, March 10, threatened to feed to crocodiles any special rapporteur from the United Nations (UN) who will investigate his campaign against illegal drugs. In another profanity-laced tirade, the President lashed out at UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein for denouncing his order to the Philippine National Police (PNP) not to cooperate in any UN human rights investigation. He said his directive has legal basis and is provided for by the 1987 Constitution. "This son of a b****, stupid chief of (UN Human Rights Council)..., they were irked because (my advice to the police is), 'Do not answer question[s] from them. And that is for a reason (that is) legal. That is provided for in the Constitution itself, our Constitution," Duterte said during his camp visit to Zamboanga City.
