The Office of the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights is an intergovernmental
human rights organization that provides advisory services and technical
cooperation at both the national and regional levels. OHCHR will get involved
if a country experiences obstacles related to human rights. This paper aims to
analyze and describe the role of OHCHR in cases of extrajudicial killings since
the enactment of the War on Drugs Policy in the Philippines. The author uses a
qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The author obtains the required
data through literature studies and interviews. The results showed that OHCHR
has several roles in its involvement, namely as an actor to communicate with
the government, victims' families, and other international organizations; as a
forum to discuss human rights cases in the regular sessions of the UN Human
Rights Council; also as a political resource where countries fight over what the
OHCHR have to do to support their positions.
