NEW: Rodrigo Duterte's arrest marks a milestone for accountability and truth. But culpability for drug war abuses goes far beyond him, and the Philippine justice system remains ill-equipped to overcome a politics that favours impunity, argues Patrick Peralta. www.newmandala.org/duterte-at-t...

As Duterte was arrested last week, my former co-author @euanraffle.bsky.social wrote a thread. I posted a video about his arrest on TikTok & had around 70 angry messages from the public in the Philippines telling me Duterte is the best leader the country has ever had. Says a lot about populism.

As well as bringing accountibility for Duterte and some semblance of justice for the families of victims, hopefully the ICC proceedings will forever dispel the notion that the #warondrugs can be resolved by yet more violence.

Cumulatively, this research hopefully highlights the utter hypocrisy of Duterte bemoaning his 'extrajudicial rendition' to the ICC (especially given that the Philippines was signed up to the Rome Statute until 2018, two years into the war on drugs!) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Finally, my paper in International Political Sociology argues that despite invoking the threat that illegal drugs posed to children, Duterte simultaneously presented them in biopolitical terms as 'dangerous becomings', who constituted a threat to society: doi.org/10.1093/ips/...

Following this, my paper in @ijdrugpolicy.bsky.social proposes an alternative typology of extrajudicial killing in the Philippines, where 'state vigilantism' represents an effort to present state orchestrated killings as the product of genuine vigilantism. doi.org/10.1016/j.dr...

As I'm new here, here is some of my research- particularly into the #warondrugs in the Philippines, covering #Duterte and his route to the #ICC.
