PHILIPPINES' DUTERTE RAILS AGAINST UN OVER CRITICISM OF DRUG WAR DEATHS
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations on Sunday after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organization and invite China and others to form a new one.
Two U.N. human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the presidency on a promise to wipe out drugs.
About 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since he came to power after winning the election on May 9.

Duterte on Friday denied that the government was responsible and in a middle-of-the-night news conference in his home town, Davao, said the deaths were not the work of the police and invited U.N. experts to investigate themselves.
The news conference was broadcast by local media and the full version was posted on Facebook by GMA news.
"I will prove to the world that you are a very stupid expert," he said, urging them to count not just the number of drug-related deaths but also the innocent lives lost to drugs.
He then launched an attack on the United Nations and its members—including by inference Manila's traditionally close ally, Washington—saying it could not fulfill its own mandate but was "worrying about the bones of criminals piling up".
"I do not want to insult you. But maybe we'll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations," he said. "Why do you have to listen to this stupid?"
Criticizing the U.N. for not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism and for not being able to do anything about Syria and Iraq and allowing big powers to bomb villages and kill innocent civilians, he said he would invite China and African nations to form another global organization.
"You now, United Nations, if you can say one bad thing about me, I can give you 10 (about you). I tell you, you are an inutile. Because if you are really true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killing."
Asked about the possible consequences of his comments, he said: "What is ... repercussions? I don't give a shit to them."
He said the United Nations should have acted according to protocol by sending someone such as a rapporteur to talk to him.
"You do not just go out and give a shitting statement against a country," he said.

Philippines president calls UN 'stupid' for criticising drug war
The Philippines president, Rodrigo Duterte, has hit out at “stupid” United Nations criticism of his controversial war on crime in which about 1,000 people have died, warning the global body not to interfere.
Duterte, who swept to a landslide election victory in May partly on a pledge to crack down on crime, said he would continue his anti-drug push despite mounting criticism, including from the UN chief, Ban Ki-moon.
“Why would the United Nations be so easily swayed into interfering in the affairs of this republic? There are only 1,000 (killed),” he said at an event marking the 115th anniversary of the police force.
In June, Ban condemned Duterte’s apparent support for extrajudicial killings, saying they were “illegal and a breach of fundamental rights and freedoms”.
The UN’s anti-drugs office this month said it was greatly concerned by reports of extrajudicial killings of suspected drug dealers and users in the Philippines.
The UN has made “a very stupid proposition”, Duterte said, warning it not to meddle in the country’s politics.
“What’s the problem? You inject politics. Only one thousand died and you put my country in peril, in jeopardy,” he said.
He told foreign human rights watchdogs not to “investigate us as though we are criminals”, and warned they would not be treated well in the Philippines.
Duterte, who took office on 30 June, ordered a bloody war on crime that has killed 1,054 people since the May elections, according to the country’s largest broadcaster, ABS-CBN.
This includes people killed in police operations, and more than 400 murdered by mysterious vigilantes.
Duterte won the election on a promise to wage a war on illegal drugs and other crime that would claim tens of thousands of lives.
He has ordered police not to hesitate to kill and even urged ordinary citizens and communist guerrillas to join in the bloodshed.
He has repeatedly scoffed at human rights groups opposed to the killings.

UN rights experts urge Philippines to end wave of extrajudicial killings amid major drug crackdown

18 August 2016 – Amid a recent massive anti-crime and anti-drug crackdown in the Philippines that has claimed the lives of more than 850 suspected criminals, two United Nations human rights experts today urged the Government to end the wave of extrajudicial executions and killings, stressing that drug charges should be “judged in a court of law, not by gunmen on the streets.”
“Claims to fight illicit drug trade do not absolve the Government from its international legal obligations and do not shield State actors or others from responsibility for illegal killings,” Agnes Callamard, the new UN Special Rapporteur on summary executions, stressed in a news releasefrom the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
More than 850 people have been killed since 10 May when Rodrigo Duterte was elected President of the Philippines vowing to crackdown on crime. Some 650 people were killed in just the last month and a half.
“The State has a legally binding obligation to ensure the right to life and security of every person in the country, whether suspected of criminal offences or not,” said Ms. Callamard.
During his election campaign and first days in office, Mr. Duterte repeatedly urged law enforcement agencies and the public to kill people suspected of trafficking drugs who don’t surrender, as well as people who use drugs.
“Concerning drug-dependency, this should be treated as a public health issue and justice systems that decriminalise drug consumption and possession for personal use as a means to improve health outcomes,” said Dainius Puras, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health.
However necessary, he added, responses to the illicit drug trade must be carried out in full compliance with national and international obligations and should respect the human rights of each person.
The President was also reported as promising impunity for such killings and bounties for those who turn in drug dealers ‘dead or alive.’
“It is effectively a license to kill,” said Ms. Callamard, underscoring that “directives of this nature are irresponsible in the extreme and amount to incitement to violence and killing, a crime under international law.”
While welcoming recent reports suggesting that President Duterte is now publicly condemning vigilante justice, and called on all authorities to take a clear and public stance against it, the Special Rapporteurs pointed it out that “it is not enough.”
“All allegations of killings and extrajudicial executions must be promptly and thoroughly investigated,” said the experts, urging the authorities to take immediate and necessary actions to protect all persons from targeted killings and extrajudicial executions.
Special Rapporteurs and independent experts are appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a specific human rights theme or a country situation. The positions are honorary and the experts are not UN staff, nor are they paid for their work.
联合国批菲杀毒贩 菲总统：“退联”跟中国搞新的
发表时间：2016-08-21 16:49:32
据英国《卫报》8月21日报道，联合国近日批评菲律宾“禁毒战争”致上百人横死，菲律宾总统杜特尔特回应称，他很可能退出联合国，并邀请中国及其他国家再组建一个新的“联合国”。
联合国人权高级专员办公室18日发表声明称，今年5月10日杜特尔特当选菲律宾总统，对国内毒品犯罪打响全面战役，截止8月11日这三个月以来，菲国内共有850人被处决；其中，过去六个星期内就有650人被杀害。联合国强调，对这样的“非法处决”和“杀戮行径”表示谴责。
对于这样的指责，杜特尔特否认政府需要为此负责，并表示伤亡人员并非警方造成，邀请联合国专家亲自来调查。
联合国特别指出，与贩毒相关的违法行动应交由相关法庭进行审判，而不能任由持枪人员在大街上向人群胡乱扫射；禁毒行动必须在全面遵守国家和国际法律、尊重人权的情况下展开。

“我会向世界证明，你们所谓的专家都是蠢货。”杜特尔特提醒联合国不要只盯着贩毒者的死亡数字不放，同时需要考虑到因吸食毒品而不幸丧生的无辜人员。
据悉，美国也参与了针对菲律宾“禁毒战争”的调查。不过，杜特尔特并未因华盛顿介入便手软，讽刺联合国连自家事务都没搞定，“竟然还有功夫担忧罪犯尸骨成山。”
“我无意侮辱你，但我们得考虑下是否要退出联合国了，”杜特尔特说，“为什么要听这帮蠢货的话？”
继而，杜特尔特将批评矛头全面对准联合国：无力解决全球饥饿问题，任由恐怖主义蔓延，对叙利亚和伊拉克战争束手无策，听任大国狂轰乱炸、残害无辜；鉴于此，他表示会邀请中国以及非洲国家筹建一个全新的国际组织。
“联合国你要是说我一句坏话，我就能给你顶回去十句。我告诉你，你毫无用处。如果你真有能耐履行你的责任，你早就应该停止一切战争和杀伐了。”
在被问到是否想过说这些话的后果时，杜特尔特回应称：“后果？我一点也不在乎。”
杜特尔特接着表示，联合国应该按照规矩办事，派个特别报告员来跟他对话，“你不能随便站出来，就发表个反对某国的狗屁报告。”
