Philippine Drug War
The Philippine Drug War is a controversial campaign initiated by President Rodrigo Duterte in 2016 aimed at eradicating illegal drug use and trafficking in the Philippines. The government has implemented aggressive law enforcement measures, including police operations and community programs, to combat drug-related crimes.
Critics argue that the campaign has led to widespread human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings of suspected drug offenders. Supporters claim it has reduced crime rates and improved public safety. The international community has raised concerns about the methods used in the campaign and its impact on civil liberties.
