DUTERTE'S WAR ON DRUGS AND EJK ISSUE

The war on drugs initiated by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been one of the most controversial policies of his administration. Since Duterte assumed office in June 2016, his government has embarked on an aggressive anti-narcotics campaign that has drawn both strong domestic support and international condemnation. One of the most contentious aspects of this campaign has been the alleged rise in extrajudicial killings (EJKs), which critics claim have been a direct consequence of the war on drugs. This essay aims to examine the key components of Duterte’s war on drugs, the allegations of extrajudicial killings, and the broader implications for human rights in the Philippines.
