ICC gives Manila more time to appeal drug war probe Read more:
Pre-Trial Chamber’s ruling allowing the investigation on the killings in the drug war in the country to resume.
Speaking to reporters in Fort del Pilar, Baguio City, Mr. Marcos said the ICC has no jurisdiction over the Philippines, which he emphasized is a “sovereign nation.”“My position has not changed. I have stated it often, even before I took office as president, that there are many questions about jurisdiction, and what we in the Philippines regard as an intrusion into our internal matters and a threat to our sovereignty,” he said.
“The Office of the Solicitor General awaits a reply from other relevant government agencies on its request to submit a status update on the pending investigations related to crimes committed on the Philippine territory between 1 November 2011 and 16 March 2019 in the context of the ‘war on drugs’ campaign.
The suspension would have the effect of suspending the ICC Prosecutor’s probe while the appeal is pending, Khan said. Should the government win its appeal, the ICC Prosecutor can just discontinue the probe, he added, stressing the absence of any harm. House Resolution No. 780 praised Duterte for improving the country’s peace and order situation, particularly on his “remarkable accomplishments” in his campaigns against illegal drugs, insurgency, separatism and terrorism, corruption in government, and criminality.
