UNHRC to vote whether or not to adopt a resolution investigating Duterte’s war on drugs 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Roy MabasaThe Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is set to vote next week on whether or not to adopt a draft resolution to investigate the thousands of deaths resulting to the war on drugs campaign under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. Iceland, alongside with more than a dozen of mostly European states, submitted the draft resolution on Thursday during the 41stsession of the UNHRC. Should the UNHRC decides to adopt the draft resolution, it will request rights chief Michelle Bachelet to prepare a comprehensive report on the human rights situation in the Philippines that will be presented to the council. The Department of Foreign Affairs has yet to respond to a media request for its reaction on the draft resolution.
