Responding to UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan’s preliminary findings in conclusion to their visit, Amnesty Philippines Director, Butch Olano, said:

Amnesty International is extremely concerned that Council members have failed to table a resolution on the Philippines. Discontinuing this resolution risks abandoning thousands of victims and survivors that have suffered as a result of punitive drug policies. The Council should not let up its scrutiny at this pivotal juncture.
