The war against drugs in the Philippines, which commenced during the administration of then president Rodrigo Duterte, triggers the vulnerable state of human rights in the country. This essay about the social and collateral damages caused by the drug war will tackle (1) the first one hundred days of the former president; (2) a documentation of EJK victims who are deemed as “collateral damages” in the drug war; (3) a synthesis of reports in relation to the investigation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding the controversy; and (4) a review of the EJKs’ depiction in culture and the arts. All of these topics are essential in understanding the roots and consequences of Duterte’s war on drugs, especially in light of the preservation of human rights in the Philippines. |
