International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan instead recommended to the UN-backed tribunal's appeals chamber to affirm the authorization for the resumption of the investigation in the Philippines. | JMangaluzINQ
Saying that the Philippine government carries the burden of proofConsideration of the different factors, including the Philippines’ willingness to carry out its investigation of the drug warFor the first argument, Khan insisted that “the Court has jurisdiction in this situation because the authorized investigation relates to alleged crimes under the Rome Statute committed on the territory of the Philippines from 1 November 2011 to 16 March 2019.
Similarly, the Philippine government also failed to show any error on the Pre-Trial Chamber’s end regarding its third argument. He likewise reiterated that nothing about the Philippine drug war was “marginal,” given the gravity of the alleged crimes. He further pointed out that Philippine government officials as high as former president Rodrigo Duterte played a role in the brutal anti-drug campaign to a certain degree.
