The United States has expressed concerns about reports from the Philippines of hundreds of extrajudicial killings of drug suspects by the security forces.

According to the United Nations, the response of Burma's security forces was disproportionately severe, and included shelling of civilians, arson and widespread extrajudicial killings.
