The visit of forensics expert Dr. Morris Tidball-Binz to the Philippines this month will help the government with its investigation into the “wrongful death tragedies” in the Philippines, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said on Sunday.
The Justice Secretary, however, clarified in his statement that Tidball-Binz would not come to the country as a United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions, but as an expert in the field of forensic pathology to help in the country’s capacity-building for its medical corps.
He also said that Tidball-Binz’s accomplishments would “pave the way for forensic pathologists and enhance their practice to achieve international standard practices.” Last November 13, Remulla met with Tidball-Binz in Geneva where he attended the Universal Peer Review of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
“He has provided closure for families of victims of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. We are hoping for the same when he visits the Philippines.”Aside from Remulla, he is set to meet with Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Director-General Moro Virgilio Lazo, Philippine National Police Chief Police General Rodolfo Azurin Jr., and National Bureau of Investigation Director Medardo de Lemos, among others.
