Commission on Human Rights

Multisectoral groups formally launched the Philippine Truth and Reconciliation Commission on May 27 to document extrajudicial killings under Rodrigo Duterte's drug war, with former ICC judge and UP Law dean Raul Pangalangan as chair — the first organized domestic effort to build a comprehensive public record of atrocities that the ICC is now prosecuting in The Hague.

The CHR releases its multi-year EJK investigation findings, recommending prosecutions and institutional reforms. A landmark report on the human cost of the drug war in the Philippines.
