President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said that he would not cooperate with any proposed activity of the International Criminal Court until it could clarify questions on its jurisdiction and its effects on the Philippines’ sovereignty.Marcos said this after the ICC authorized prosecutor Karim Khan to reopen the probe on possible rights abuses and crimes against humanity committed under the Duterte administration.
According to Marcos, a known Duterte ally, there were “many questions” about ICC’s jurisdiction and what the Philippines regard as an “intrusion into our internal matters and they are a threat to our sovereignty.”President Marcos expressed confidence in the Philippines’ police and the Judicial Branch and that no external player is needed to resolve its issues.
