5. Public lecture: Philippines’ ‘War on drugs’
Filipinos overwhelmingly voted Rodrigo R. Duterte as president of the Philippines in May 2016 after he made a campaign promise to eliminate crime and illegal drugs in the first months of his administration.
Even before he took office on June 30, 2016, the Philippine National Police launched Duterte’s “war on drugs” that saw hundreds of suspected criminals and alleged drug dealers gunned down in police operations.
Running parallel with these operations are summary killings perpetrated by unidentified gunmen. By the end of July — barely a month in office – more than 500 were killed by the police and these unknown perpetrators
Join Human Rights Watch Philippines Researcher, Carlos Conde, as he discusses the worsening human rights situation in the Philippines, and why the Philippines government should publicly denounce unlawful killings and reiterate support for the rule of law.

Time: 12.30pm – 1.30pm
Venue: Monash University Law Chambers, Seminar Room 3, Level 2, 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
