Extrajudicial killings are illegal liquidations, unlawful or felonious killings in the Philippines. These are one of the concerns that is a violation to human Rights. 

              In the Senate hearing yesterday august 23 2016 on extrajudictial killings, The CHR chairperson Chito Gascon stated that the International Criminal Court (ICC) may possibly assume jurisdiction over the extrajudicial and vigilante killings of suspected drug dealers if the Philippine government fails to address the issue. The ICC may only exercise jurisdiction where national legal systems fail to do so, including where they purport to act but in reality are unwilling or unable to genuinely carry out proceedings," the ICC said in its informal expert paper on the principle of complementarity in practice.
