Extrajudicial Killings

Extrajudicial killings (EJKs) continue to be a significant issue in the Philippines, particularly concerning investigations into deaths during the Duterte administration's war on drugs. The Commission on Human Rights faces challenges in obtaining records from police due to Executive Order No. 2, hindering their probe into over 4,000 cases. Lawmakers are pushing for stricter measures against EJKs and accountability for officials involved in these violations.
