Summary
In the Philippines, Extrajudicial Killings is the tool mainly used against narcoproducents, narcotraficars and narcodealers. Since the inauguration of President Rodrigo Duterte on June 30, 2016, and his call for a “war on drugs”, Philippine National Police Officers and unidentified “vigilantes” have killed over 7,000 people. This war on drugs somehow paved a way for the police officers and unidentified “vigilantes” a “License to kill”. Extrajudicial killings are defined by law as killings owing to the victims’ political affiliation; method of attack; and involvement or consent of state agents in the killing commission (Supreme Court Administrative Order 25, 2007)
