SC: Gov't cannot be forced to probe drug war killings
The Philippine Star
|November 20, 2023
The government cannot be compelled to investigate and prosecute extrajudicial killings in connection with the Duterte administration's war against illegal drugs, according to the Supreme Court (SC).
In a decision promulgated on Aug 30 and released on Saturday, the SC said the writ of continuing mandamus cannot be used to compel the government to conduct an investigation as it is only a remedy in environmental cases.
The SC en banc, in a decision penned by Associate Justice Maria Filomena Singh, dismissed a petition for mandamus filed by several lawyers who claimed that respondents then Philippine National Police (PNP) chief and now Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, the late Commission on Human Rights (CHR) chairman Jose Luis Martin Gascon and then Department of Justice (DOJ) secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II failed to adequately perform their duty to prevent violations of the right to life and to investigate and prosecute the killings.
