Palace acknowledges United Nations rapporteur message on 'paused' war on drugs

Late past year, several police officers kidnapped Jee Ick-joo and strangled him at the police headquarters at Camp Crane.

Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella Duterte was considering re-establishing the police constabulary, a paramilitary force used by former dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

Duterte's campaign against illegal drugs has claimed some 6,000 lives.

Duterte believed that the void left by police in the drugs war could be filled by the military.

There are also numerous independent accounts of state-endorsed "death squads" operating in the southern city of Davao during Duterte's long tenure as mayor, most notably a report/2009/04/06/you-can-die-any-time/death-squad-killings-mindanao">landmark 2009 report by Human Rights Watch.

More than 7,000 people have died since Duterte unleashed his bloody crackdown on drugs in June 2016.

"Amnesty International is deeply concerned that these deliberate and widespread killings, which appear to be systematic, planned and organised by the authorities, may constitute crimes against humanity", the report stated.

He added: "We will cleanse our ranks... then maybe after that, we can resume our war on drugs". Generational Dynamics predicts that in the approaching Clash of Civilizations world war, China, Pakistan and the Sunni Muslim countries will be on one side, and the US, Russia, India and Iran will be on the other side.

"To all the rogue cops, beware".

The Jee case isn't the first time the PNP has been accused of abuse in the war on drugs.

The human rights group released its investigation, "If you are poor you are killed: Extrajudicial Executions in the Philippines' War on Drugs", on Wednesday.

In a series of reports a year ago, Reuters showed that the police had a 97-percent kill rate in their drug operations, the strongest proof yet that police were summarily shooting drug suspects.

The Philippine government has effectively undermined prior United Nations efforts to investigate the "drug war" killings. Police have classified most extrajudicial killings as "death under investigation". The widely publicized scandal prompted Dela Rosa to form a counter-intelligence force to cleanse the 170,000-strong police force of rogue and corrupt officers.

"They could have killed, strangled him everywhere, anywhere, but that it had to happen inside Camp Crame is really bad", Duterte said, referring to Jee. "Under President Duterte's rule, the national police are breaking laws they are supposed to uphold while profiting from the murder of impoverished people the government was supposed to uplift". "They were still gunned down".

He said almost 40 per cent of the police force engaged in illegal activities. Police and government officials have denied the existence of bounty bonuses. In a December survey conducted by Social Weather Station, an independent polling agency, 42% of Filipino respondents said they were undecided on the credibility of police claims that killed suspects had resisted arrest. Tirana Hassan, Amnesty's Crisis Response director said.

"We now go after other crimes. that's better for us, we fight all crimes".
