(New York) – The United Nations should lead an independent international investigation into alleged unlawful killings by the Philippine police linked to President Rodrigo Duterte’s abusive “War on Drugs,” Human Rights Watch said today. On January 30, 2017, Philippine National Police Director-General Ronald dela Rosa declared a pause in anti-drug operations for “internal cleansing” following revelations this month of the alleged brutal killing of a South Korean businessman by anti-drug police.
