UPAYA HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH (HRW) DALAM MENEGAKKAN HAK ASASI MANUSIA (HAM) ATAS KEBIJAKAN WAR ON DRUGS PRESIDEN RODRIGO DUTERTE DI FILIPINA
Abstract
This paper describes an International Non-Governmental Organization engaged in the field of Human Rights (HAM) trying to make advocacy efforts against a government that is considered to commit human rights violations in its policy. The Philippines is one of the countries with high drug-level cases in Southeast Asia. In response, the President-elect in 2016, Rodrigo Duterte, exposed the policy of war on drugs. War on drugs policies are executed by killing offenders and drug suspects. As many as tens of thousands of lives were killed in this policy outside the legal process. The high mortality rate due to this policy indicates a violation of human rights. To that end, Human Rights Watch made an advocacy effort by adopting the Transnational Advocacy Networks (TAN) effort against President Rodrigo Duterte's policy to stop extrajudicial killings in respect of human rights.
