PRESIDENT Rodrigo R. Duterte’s deadly war on drugs was largely successful despite “excesses” committed by rogue cops, according to his Justice chief.
“People now feel safer in the streets even at night due to the visible reduction in drug pushing incidents,” Justice Secretary Menardo I. Guevarra told an online forum on Wednesday. “In that aspect, the campaign against drugs was fairly successful.”
Government prosecutors have filed charges in court against law enforcers in four cases and planned to probe 250 more of what could have been wrongful deaths in Mr. Duterte’s war on drugs, Mr. Guevarra told the United Nations Human Rights Council in February. The International Criminal Court , which investigates and prosecutes people charged with genocide and other war crimes, had probed the country’s anti-illegal drug campaign.
“No judicial system is perfect since this is a human creation,” Mr. Guevarra told the online forum. “It is prone to corruption and manipulation but our justice system works.” Meanwhile, Mr. Guevarra said the country’s anti-communist task force should file complaints rather than simply labeling people as communists.
