Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said that the government has invited a third special rapporteur to visit the country in a bid to show that the Philippines is willing to resolve issues and improve the rights situation in the country. | T2TupasINQ
READ:According to the Department of Justice chief, the government is not denying that there are problems within the system but stressed that the government “is open to suggestions and open to improving whatever situation that is here.”
“We do not hide and say that’s not true. We’re saying that if there is room for improvement, we will take it,” he said during a press conference. Special rapporteurs must be invited by a government in order to visit a country in their official capacity. During President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration, no invitation was extended to then-special rapporteur Agnes Callamard, who criticized the government’s brutal “war on drugs.”
On inviting Dr. Tidball-Binz to visit the Philippines, Remulla said the government wants his help in capacity-building for forensic pathologists in the country.“Right now, we only have two licensed, legal, legitimate, and actually internationally accepted forensic pathologists in our country. The rest are medico-legal experts but not the level of forensic pathologist that we want,” he noted.
