In order to analyze the Philippine drug war, the study have looked upon extrajudicial killings, impunity and law enforcement, and thereafter used the collected information to understand the drug war’s significance in terms of human security. The study concludes that although there are some factors of the drug war that could be interpreted as positive in the remark of personal and political security, the overall results imply that the drug war can and should be understood as threatening the security of the referent object within human security – the people.
