Davao death squads
The Davao Death Squads or DDS, is an anti-human rights group lead by Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines. The group is allegedly responsible for summary executions of individuals suspected of petty crimes and dealing in drugs in Davao. It has been estimated that the group is responsible for the murder or disappearance of between 1,020 and 1,040 people between 1998 and 2008.
A team from Families of Victims of Involuntary Disappearance (FIND), a human rights group, and investigators from the Commission on Human Rights discovered killing fields where skeletal remains of victims of the death squads were dumped.〔(Preda Foundation, Inc.

Human Rights Commissioner Dominador Calamba II has indicated that local executives and the police knew the criminals but were "seemingly tolerating" them.〔(Preda Foundation, Inc. Deaths Squads: Summary of Davao Death Squad Reports )〕 Human rights groups said the killings have become an unwritten government policy to deal with crime due to an ill-functioning criminal justice system and lack of due process in the way authorities administered justice.〔New York Times〕
==Victims==
According to Amnesty International and local human rights groups, there were over 300 people killed in Davao City by death squads between 1998 and 2005. The rate of killing accelerated after this so that between 2005 and 2008 death squads were responsible for between 700 and 720 murders.〔 According to a 2009 report by Human Rights Watch the victims were selected because they were suspected of being drug dealers, petty criminals and street children aged as young as 14.〔(AsiaMedia :: PHILIPPINES: Filipino journalists face brutal death squads )〕 Amnesty International states, killings and extrajudicial executions continued throughout the year, particularly of criminal suspects. In Mindanao many such killings, including those of minors, were attributed to the so-called “Davao Death Squad” vigilante group. It was reported that local officials in some areas advocated a “shoot to kill” policy with respect to criminal suspects resisting arrest.〔(Amnesty International )〕 According to local human rights activists, the death squads later began to offer 'guns for hire' services targeting individuals for reasons unrelated to crime.〔Human Rights Watch〕 In 2004, thousands of people protested the killings in a "walk for peace" and ecumenical prayer service.〔(PIA Information Services - Philippine Information Agency )〕
