Duterte's latest target: the Commission on Human Rights

Tom Smith

Duterte's latest target: the Commission on Human Rights

Centre for European & International Studies Research

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

The Duterte presidency in the Philippines is little over a year old. But his administration’s short reign provides a cautionary tale of how quickly human rights institutions can become maligned, if not dismantled, if nobody fights back. That fight is decidedly political and must be unashamedly based on human rights.
