UN Special Rapporteur to visit the Philippines

ZAMBOANGA CITY: The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) said it welcomes the recent announcement by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla that UN Special Rapporteur Morris Tidball-Binz, a forensic doctor, will visit the country next year.

ICHRP Chairperson Peter Murphy said as Special Rapporteur on an extrajudicial, summary, and arbitrary executions, Tidball-Binz's visit would be an important next step in the process of seeking justice for the thousands of victims of extrajudicial killings under the previous Duterte government, as well as the current Marcos government.
