PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has called on the United Nations (UN) to deploy human rights investigators to monitor the police’s anti-drug operations, amid public outrage over recent killings of teenagers by policemen and the House of Representatives’ decision to defund the Commission on Human Rights (CHR).

“I will, personally and through an official channel, invite the [people from] UN Commission on Human Rights…that they should have a satellite office here. They (UN) can have an investigator embedded in police operations. I will have no problem with that,” Duterte said in a mix of Filipino and English after visiting the wake of PO3 Junior Hilario who was killed in an anti-drug operation.
