The prosecutor of the ICC has sought the dismissal of a request by the Philippine government for another suspension of his investigation of the charges of crimes against humanity against former President Rodrigo Duterte in his war on drugs.
He reiterated the official argument that the ICC no longer had any jurisdiction over the Philippines and that the government was already conducting its own probe of the drug war killings.
In its Jan. 26 decision authorizing the resumption of the probe, the PTC said it was “not satisfied that the Philippines is undertaking relevant investigations, or is making a real or genuine effort to carry out such investigations and any subsequent criminal prosecutions.”Data from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency showed that 6,252 individuals were killed during the drug war from July 2016 to May 2022. Human rights groups say the figure could be three times more.
“In particular, it notes the new administration’s logistical and administrative constraints,” it said.Replying to a reporter’s question regarding the ICC investigation of his predecessor’s antidrug campaign, Mr. Marcos said his position had not changed.
