Philippines: ‘Drug War’ Abuses Persist 10 Years On

In the Philippines, concerns persist about abuses related to the anti-drug campaign. It has been 10 years since the campaign began, and issues of extrajudicial killings continue to arise. The current president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., has not repudiated the policy, and orders from the previous administration remain in place. Since Marcos took office in June 2022, there have been numerous killings as part of the campaign, with further details available from Human Rights Watch.
