Duterte Latest News: In a dramatic legal move, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s lawyers have challenged the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction, claiming the ICC cannot legally try Duterte since the Philippines withdrew from the Rome Statute in 2019-before the ICC investigation began. This filing demands Duterte’s immediate release and could derail the case over thousands of alleged drug war killings. What’s next in this high-stakes international showdown?
Former Philippine President Duterte’s lawyers filed a challenge asserting the International Criminal Court (ICC) has NO JURISDICTION over the drug war case due to the Philippines’ 2019 withdrawal from the Rome Statute.
This short breaks down their argument: No treaty = No ICC power. They demand an immediate halt to the investigation into thousands of alleged killings.
Can the ICC proceed? Does withdrawing shield a nation from ongoing probes? This challenges the core authority of international justice.
