THE International Criminal Court (ICC) has rejected the Philippine government's appeal to stop the investigation into the war on drugs of former president Rodrigo Duterte. READ:
Presiding judge Marc Perrin de Brichambaut on Tuesday said during proceedings streamed on the court's website and on Facebook that three of the five judges had rejected the Philippines' arguments, despite the country's withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2018, while two others, including de Brichambaut himself, dissented.
The concurring judges said the ICC did not 'err in law.'This would mean that the investigation on the controversial drug war, led by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, will resume after it was stopped in November 2021 on the government's request.The coverage of the drug war started in 2011, when the Philippines joined the Rome Statute.
