President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday threatened to pull the country’s membership out of the United Nations (U.N.) amid criticisms from UN and human rights experts on alleged extra judicial killings in the war on drugs.
This is what he said after being criticized because of the extra judicial killings that are being forced into his hands.
He even explained it to them and said that he is willing to have a meeting with them and they can ask him questions publicly.
Duterte said he will show the U.N. the statistics of his campaign and prove the importance of protecting innocent Filipinos. He also said his campaign has encouraged law enforcers to shoot dangerous criminals to death, rather than be defeated by long-winded cases in court.

“I will explain extra-judicial killings, for international release, if you want,”
“My orders are for the police to go out and hunt for criminals. I tell them to arrest these criminals if they surrender peacefully, but kill them if they put up a violent struggle. I assume full responsibility for what happens.”

“My job as president is to protect innocent law-abiding citizens,”
“I was never tasked by any law to protect criminals. I say this because 16 million people voted for me and I have a large margin between me and the next candidate.”
