Philippine Senator de Lima calls on the International Criminal Court to investigate President Duterte's murder campaign. She says that she receives death threats and is afraid she will be murdered.

Duterte said his murder campaign is aimed at drug dealers. You might think that the rights of drug dealers are unimportant; but even if you think they deserve to be prosecuted and convicted, that doesn't mean they have no rights at all.

Once a state decides that certain people have no rights at all, it isn't a big step to take the same stance about other people. If it was drug dealers last month, it can be senators this month, dissidents next month, and anyone that gets in the president's way a month after that.
