BREAKING NEWS: Member of ASEAN adopt hands-off stance on drug war!

President Rodrigo Duterte, this year’s chairman of the Asean Summit, won the election on a promise to end the drug menace and launched a bloody war on drugs right after he took office last year. Since then, the campaign has claimed almost 4,000 lives.

The statement also highlights the importance of “preserving the sovereign right of countries in deciding the most appropriate approaches to address their national drug situations.”

THE 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations has taken a hands-off stance on the anti-drug measures adopted by its member-states despite concerns raised over possible human rights violations

A draft of the Asean chairman’s statement leaked to the media on Monday said it welcomed the assistance of dialogue partners and other external parties in addressing the drug problem through “capacity building, intelligence information sharing and other forms of cooperation consistent with relevant international laws,” but said it would leave to each country to decide how to deal with the problem.A draft of the Asean chairman’s statement leaked to the media on Monday said it welcomed the assistance of dialogue partners and other extern

The White House, on the other hand, said that Duterte’s war on drugs was “briefly” discussed during both leaders’ bilateral discussion.

“The conversation focused on ISIS, illegal drugs, and trade. Human rights briefly came up in the context of the Philippines’ fight against illegal drugs,” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a White House pool report.

n the statement, Asean also reaffirmed its commitment to a drug-free Asean as the bloc adopted the Asean Work Plan on Securing Communities Against Illicit Drugs, which will be implemented from 2016 to 2025.
