The Australian government will not serve as a host country for former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s request for temporary release from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

ABS-CBN News received firsthand confirmation on Friday (June 27) that Australia would not even consider hosting Duterte.

As one of the 125 states parties to the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC, Australia was aware of Duterte’s application for urgent interim release. But the Australian government said it was leaving the matter to the ICC. — Report from Zen Hernandez, ABS-CBN News
