Government asks ICC to stop resumption of drug war probe READ MORE:
The five-page appeal filed on February 3 stressed that the government under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. “disagrees with and rejects the pre-trial chamber’s conclusion” when it authorized the resumption of the drug war probe.
Sought for comment, Human Rights Watch Senior Researcher Carlos Conde said he is optimistic the appeal would not change anything to stop the resumption of the drug war probe. Meanwhile, the Commission on Human Rights on Wednesday welcomed the visit to the Philippines of a team of international experts on the Minnesota Protocol on the Investigation of Potentially Unlawful Deaths upon invitation from the government.
“We equally recognize the urgent value of having forensic pathologists in all regions to aid in law enforcement and provide their expertise to determine results and help enable the resolution of unjust executions.” Remulla has insisted that the Philippines has a functioning justice system and said the decision of the ICC to resume its “drug war” probe is an “irritant.”
