This forum follows on our 2017 CND side event, “Human Rights Challenge: Responding to Extrajudicial Killings in the Drug War,” which featured a video from Vice President Leni Robredo that criticized President Duterte’s drug policies. The video became controversial in the Philippines, leading to weeks of political attacks on Robredo including calls for her impeachment.
