Cecile Santos weeps next to her children near the scene where her husband Marvin De Los Santos was killed by unknown assailants in Quezon city, Metro Manila, Philippines, July 18, 2017. The United States congress is the latest to express concern over human rights violations in President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs. The Philippine National Police has claimed that there have been at least 12,000 killings throughout the country in the past year, 3,000 of which were drug suspects shot dead in police operations. Another 2,000 killings have been confirmed by police to be drug-related while the other 7,000 deaths are still under investigation. Human rights groups have said that many of these killings were carried out by undercover police or state sanctioned death squads. United Nations member states called on the Philippine government to conduct a "thorough" investigation into extrajudicial killings in the country and hold accountable the perpetrators.
