Senator Leila de Lima wants the United Nations to come to the Philippines and look into what she called “unprecedented phenomenon of extrajudicial killings and summary executions” in the country in the midst of the government’s intensified fight against illegal drugs.
In Senate Resolution No. 153 that was filed, de Lima is urging the executive branch through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to extend an invitation to the United Nationals Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Killing and Summary Executions to visit the country and look into the rampant killings here.
It was on the day she filed the resolution that De Lima was also removed as chair of the Senate committee on justice and human rights, investigating on the issue.
