- The Philippines:
Under the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte and
continuing into 2025, thousands have been victims of extrajudicial
killings and torture.
- Tactics: Victims, including children as young as 20 months, have been targeted. Documented cases include beatings, stabbings, and "tokhang for ransom," where police use the drug war as cover to kidnap and extort families.
- Justice Status: In March 2025, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Duterte for crimes against humanity, including murder and torture.
- Mexico: Since the escalation of the "War on Drugs" in 2006, torture has been described as "out of control" and "spiralling".
Tactics: Human Rights Watch has documented methods such as asphyxiation with plastic bags, waterboarding, electric shocks, and sexual torture.
Impunity: These acts are frequently used by military and security forces to extract forced confessions, often with official experts reportedly hiding evidence to bypass the Istanbul Protocol for documenting torture.
Cambodia and Thailand: Amnesty International has reported on "rehabilitation" centers that operate as de facto detention camps where detainees face beatings, forced labor, and denial of medical care.
Long-term Impact on Victims
Physical and Mental Health: Survivors frequently suffer from traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, chronic anxiety, and depression.
Social Stigmatization: Victims and their families are often blamed by the state or society as being "involved" in crime, which is used to justify the violence and silence bystanders.
Orphaned Children: In regions like Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, thousands of children have been orphaned after witnessing their parents being tortured and killed.
For those seeking legal or medical aid for survivors, organizations like the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) provide direct support and advocacy.
