Opposition lawmakers, both in the Senate and the House, urged President Marcos to cooperate with the ICC in investigating the killings of nearly 8,000 people in the war against drugs of the Duterte administration.
“The ICC is filling a long-standing vacuum in the investigation,” she said. “Justice requires that an impartial body investigate killings connected to the so-called war on drugs.”“The rule of law is not limited to parochial confines. It must conform to the world order,” Lagman said.
The 56 cases were among almost 8,000 killings that the Philippine National Police acknowledged to have occurred during Duterte’s antidrug war.
