UN's top human rights body narrowly passes a resolution that includes calls for greater scrutiny on the deadly drug war in the Philippines
Families of victims of alleged extra-judicial killings in President Rodrigo Duterte's so-called"war on drugs" display placards and portraits of their slain relatives as they call on the United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate the killings, Tuesday, July 9, 2019, in suburban Quezon city northeast of Manila, Philippines.
Duterte's three-year so-called drug war has unleashed a surge of bloodshed in the Asian nation, with reports of nightly slaying of suspects by police and masked gunmen. It calls on the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, to prepare a "comprehensive written report on the situation of human rights in the Philippines," over the coming year."We will not accept a politically partisan and one-sided resolution," Garcia said after the vote, reading a statement on behalf of foreign secretary Teodoro Locsin.
