CANADIAN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called on the Philippines to address the drug war killings and the rest of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to address human rights violations confronting the region such as the crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.

In a news conference on the sidelines of the 31^st Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit on Tuesday, Trudeau stressed that countries should expect Canada to tackle the issue of human rights head on since it is what Canada has always been doing.
