They also cited that only one case has been ruled in the country — that of slain 17-year-old student Kian delos Santos, where the three arresting officers who killed the teenager point-blank were convicted of murder.
They also noted that any possible investigation has no time limit, even if the country is no longer a state party to the ICC. “Furthermore, the exercise of the Court’s jurisdiction is not subject to any time limit,” they added. “During the reporting period, the Office significantly advanced its assessment of whether there is a reasonable basis to proceed under article 15 of the Statute. During 2020, the Office will aim to finalize the preliminary examination in order to enable the Prosecutor to reach a decision on whether to seek authorization to open an investigation into the situation in the Philippines,” ICC said.
