ICYMI: International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan has dismissed the Philippine government's arguments in its appeal to stop the UN-backed tribunal from continuing its probe into the Duterte administration's bloody drug war.
Saying that the Philippine government carries the burden of proofConsideration of the different factors, including the Philippines’ willingness to carry out its investigation of the drug warFor the first argument, Khan insisted that “the Court has jurisdiction in this situation because the authorized investigation relates to alleged crimes under the Rome Statute committed on the territory of the Philippines from 1 November 2011 to 16 March 2019.
Similarly, the Philippine government failed to show any error regarding its third argument on the Pre-Trial Chamber’s end. He stressed that nothing about the Philippine drug war was “marginal,” given the gravity of the alleged crimes. He further pointed out that Philippine government officials as high as former president Rodrigo Duterte played a role in the brutal anti-drug campaign to a certain degree.
