Ex-President Duterte’s prosecution for ‘crimes against humanity’ pushed

Progressive groups in the country pushed for the prosecution of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte for his alleged “crimes against humanity.”

Alliance of Filipino women, Gabriela, on Monday, Nov. 14, said attacks carried out against women activists during the Duterte administration included “sexual innuendoes,” “contemptuous and anti-women remarks” to the “outrightly brutal extrajudicial killings.”

The first UPR review was held in April 2008, followed by the second examination in May 2012. The third review took place in May 2017. With this, Gabriela pushed for the creation of comprehensive programs to promote human rights values and standards, especially the protection of women activists and rights defenders in the country.Meanwhile, rights group Karapatan, in a separate statement, said around 442 civilians – “mostly peasants, indigenous and Moro peoples” were documented to have been killed during the Duterte administration.

This was likewise supported by labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno who reiterated that all those involved in human rights violations – from the past to the current regime – must be held accountable.
