THE PHILIPPINE Justice department has invited a forensic expert from the United Nations to improve local capacity in investigating extrajudicial killings in connection with the government’s war on drugs.
“He has provided closure for families of victims of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances,” the Justice chief said. “We are hoping for the same when he visits the Philippines.” Mr. Remulla said Mr. Tidball-Binz would not be working as a special rapporteur but as an expert in the field of forensic pathology during his stay in Manila.
