According to Gabriela, the appeal for courtesy resignations is just meant to cover up for the supposed lack of accountability regarding the bloody war on drugs of the previous administration. | GabrielLaluINQ
But Gabriela said if the President wants to rid the PNP of illegal drugs, he should also look at ensuring accountability by going after erring police officers and officials involved in the drug war.Gabriela believes that the government should allow the International Criminal Court to conduct its probe into the drug war.
“If the Marcos Jr. administration really wants to cleanse the PNP of the drug problem, then it must pursue the filing of charges against erring cops instead of pushing for the approval of the free legal assistance bill for uniformed personnel,” Gabriela said. “It should finally open the doors for the investigation of the International Criminal Court in relation to rights violations committed in the conduct of the government’s war on drugs, wherein thousands of ordinary Filipinos were extralegally killed. Otherwise, such move would just be a lame media theatric,” it added.
Complaints for the crime against humanity of mass murder were filed against Duterte and other implementers of the drug war before the ICC, for allegedly conducting a systematic killing of drug suspects. Duterte, however, maintained that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the country, as the body only intervenes when there is a failure of the justice system. Marcos has issued the same sentiments, saying that the ICC is only welcome if the system collapses.
