UN expert to help in probing wrongful death tragedies
By J.Lo
"We need more capable doctors in our country to assist our law enforcement agencies in their work…this is an enormous step towards that goal," Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said visit of forensics expert Dr. Morris Tidball-Binz to the Philippines will help government with its investigation into "wrongful death tragedies" in the Philippines. The Justice Secretary clarified in his statement Tidball-Binz would not come to the country as United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions, but as an expert in field of forensic pathology to help country's capacity-building for its medical corps.
He also said Tidball-Binz's accomplishments would "pave way for forensic pathologists and enhance their practice to achieve international standard practices."
"Dr. Tidball-Binz's visit will help us identify intricacies of wrongful death tragedies," said Remulla.
Last November 13, Remulla met with Tidball-Binz in Geneva where he attended Universal Peer Review of United Nations Human Rights Council.
Remulla then invited the UN Special Rapporteur and asked his help "in assisting law enforcement agencies in the Philippines to investigate cases of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances" in the Philippines.
"He has provided closure for families of victims of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances…we are hoping for the same when he visits Philippines."
Tidball-Binz is expected to arrive in the Philippines on February 6, and stay here until February 9.
Aside from Remulla, he is set to meet with Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director-General Mo Virgilio Lazo, Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Police General Rodolfo Azurin Jr., and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Medardo de Lemos, among others.
In January, nternational Criminal Court (ICC) had authorized reopening of inquiry into former President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drugs campaign.
ICC was "not satisfied that Philippines is undertaking relevant investigations that would warrant deferral of court's investigations."
Remulla called ICC's actions unwelcome and irritant, stressing he would not stand for any antics that would tend to question Philippine sovereignty.
Government records showed at least 6,200 drug suspects were killed in police operations from June 2016 until November 2021.
Several human rights groups claimed actual death toll was around 12,000 to 30,000.
