Philippine president needs ‘psychiatric evaluation’, says UN rights chief
 [DAWN] GENEVA: The UN human rights chief said on Friday that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who has launched profanity-laced diatribes against United Nations...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... rapporteurs, needs "psychiatric evaluation". Listing some of Manila’s actions against UN envoys, including filing terrorism charges against one, rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said "it makes one believe that the president of the Philippines needs to submit himself to some sort of psychiatric evaluation". Zeid and other UN rights officials have focused significant attention on Duterte’s controversial drug war. Police have killed more than 4,100 drug suspects since Duterte took office in 2016, but rights groups allege more than 8,000 others have been murdered in what they describe as crimes against humanity.
