✍️ The International Criminal Court rejected a request from former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to dismiss the case against him for alleged crimes against humanity during his war on drugs.
👉 Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte faces three charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. 👉 The charges relate to alleged killings of drug users and dealers during Duterte's presidency and his time as mayor of Davao City. 👉 The ICC rejected Duterte's request to dismiss the case, citing jurisdiction over the alleged crimes. 👉 The prosecution argued that the crimes occurred while the Philippines was still a member of the ICC, and therefore the court has the right to try the case. 👉 The defense argued that the court lacks jurisdiction over the alleged crimes, as the Philippines withdrew from the ICC treaty.
