President Marcos clarified that his administration does not intend to cooperate with the International Criminal Court on investigation into former President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial anti-drug campaign even while assuring that it will abide by its commitments with the International Criminal Police Organization .
The chief executive affirmed that the government’s policy remains unchanged despite Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin’s comments on Wednesday that seemed to suggest a willingness to engage with the international tribunal if processed through INTERPOL. “If the former President desires to surrender himself to the jurisdiction of the ICC, the government will neither object nor block it,” Bersamin said.
“I am asking the ICC to hurry up. They are taking so long. I might die before they can investigate me,” Duterte said.The Philippines withdrew its membership from the ICC in 2019 under then-President Duterte, following the ICC’s initial inquiries into alleged extrajudicial killings linked to his administration’s anti-drug efforts.
