	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2018 answer text <p>We are committed to the promotion of human rights, including tolerance and freedom of religion and belief. Whilst we have not discussed the specific case of the murder of Father Mark Ventura, we have continued to call on the Government of the Philippines to promote a safe and enabling environment for human rights defenders. Furthermore, we regularly raise concerns with the Government of the Philippines over the high death toll associated with the &quot;war on illegal drugs&quot;, and stresses the need for prompt, thorough and impartial investigations into killings. Most recently the Minister for Asia and the Pacific (Mr Field) raised this issue with the Philippines Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs in December 2017 and with the Philippines Ambassador in April 2018.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/05/2018 11:09:23 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2018 answer text <p>While noting the assurances given by the Government of the Philippines, the UK remains concerned about the continuing reported high death toll associated with the war on drugs. We continue to underline that actions to tackle drug abuse must be carried out in full respect of the rule of law and comply with international human rights obligations. The Philippines should uphold its commitments to the promotion and protection of human rights as a member of the UN Human Rights Council. At the 38th session of the UN Human Rights Council, on 18 June, the UK urged the Philippines to ensure thorough investigations into all killings associated with the war on illegal drugs.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/06/2018 12:33:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
