| Where Duterte stands firms on the issue of EJK in his regime -CTTO |
The Philippines has yet to examine the 257 recommendations formulated during the interactive dialogue.
Here's a look at where different countries and organizations stand on major issues including alleged extrajudicial killings of drug suspects, the proposed reintroduction of the death penalty and the proposed lowering of criminal responsibility in the country.\
Australia
Australia is also against the reintroduction of the death penalty, reminding the Philippines of its obligations as a state party to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Canada
The Canadian delegation strongly urged the Philippines to refrain from reintroducing the death penalty and to end extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, illegal arrests and detention, torture and harassment.
China
Beijing urged Manila to address the root cause of illegal drugs and strengthen international cooperation to combat its proliferation, as well as human trafficking. China also suggested to complete and implement the National Human Rights Action Plan.
France
Paris asked Manila to take measures to put an end to extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions and allow the request for a visit of the UN special rapporteur to look into such reports. The French delegation also expressed its opposition against the reintroduction of the death penalty and the proposed lowering of the age of criminal responsibility.
Germany
Berlin asked for the protection of the right to life and a fair trial in the context of the anti-narcotics campaign. Germany also asked the Philippines to refrain from introducing the death penalty and to take measures to fully guarantee the rights of children with reference to treatment to juveniles in the judicial system.
Japan
Tokyo urged Manila to ratify the International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance and to promote legislation conforming to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
Japan added it expects Philippine accountability in its anti-drug campaign.
Russia
Although the Russian delegation did not mention alleged extrajudicial killings of drug suspects, Moscow suggested improving the country's potential in the human rights field by completing the process of elaboration of the Philippines Human Rights Action Plan and by strengthening national human rights institutions.
United Kingdom
London called for a thorough and independent investigation into violent deaths and commitment to bring to justice those involved in abuses, including police defenders.
United States
Washington urged investigative and prosecutorial bodies to ensure thorough investigations into all killings, as well as appropriate prosecutions of perpetrators. The US also called for a strengthened criminal justice reform that would ensure a speedy and fair trial for all accused.
Holy See
The Vatican implied its opposition against the reimposition of the death penalty by asking the Philipines to maintain the protection of the right to life from conception to natural death. It added that the perpetration of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances is also deeply troubling.
