Ex-Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte arrested by ICC | ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ | ICC | N18G

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on March 12 under a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is investigating allegations of crimes against humanity related to his "war on drugs." The ICC has jurisdiction over crimes like genocide and war crimes and can intervene when countries fail to prosecute such offenses. Duterte's drug war, which led to the deaths of over 6,000 people during his presidency (2016-2022), has drawn widespread condemnation. A UN report revealed police abuses, including unlawful raids and forced confessions. Duterte withdrew the Philippines from the ICC in 2019, but an investigation started in 2021. His arrest follows growing political tension with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Duterte, who is still popular in the Philippines, denies the charges. He now faces trial at the ICC, potentially becoming the first Asian former head of state to stand trial for crimes against humanity.
