Too late, too little and too weak. That’s how I describe the DOJ-led panel that purportedly reviews the police killings in Duterte’s so-called war on drugs. [1/21] 
The formation of that inter-agency team was announced by Justice Secretary Guevarra, as the representative of the Philippine government, in response to the reports and statements made during the ongoing 44th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). [2/21]
Too late. The move is nothing but Duterte’s last-ditch attempt at throwing a monkey wrench to derail the work of the UNHRC and the International Criminal Court (ICC), through its Prosecutor, which are both being nudged by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights [3/21]
The doors of domestic accountability for Rodrigo Duterte and his co- conspirators may have been closed, but the windows of international scrutiny have remained open.

I wholeheartedly join the 31 UN human rights experts in their collective call for the creation of an independent investigation into human rights violations in the Philippines.
This clamor came in the wake of the Report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, which she submitted on 4 June 2020 pursuant to Resolution 41/2 of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) that was adopted a year ago.
