House Quad Committee lead chairperson and Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers The House of Representatives Quad Committee will not submit any of its findings or documents related to extrajudicial killings under the Duterte administration’s drug war to the International Criminal Court .
This is according to co-chair Surigao del Norte 2nd District Rep. Ace Barbers, who was responding to a question about calls to turn over Quad Comm investigation results, documents, and evidence to the ICC.“My personal stand on the issue is that since we are not members of the ICC, and the President has made a clear statement as to his position on the ICC, I will support that position,” Barbers said in a mix of English and Filipino in an interview over Kapihan sa Manila Bay.
“We will not give any document or transcript made by the Quad Comm in relation to the EJKs for the ICC’s use because, again, we are not members of the ICC. And following the statement of the President, we will stick to that,” he added.“If they want to have access to records or access to information about the investigation, the ICC can go to social media platforms. It’s a public record. They can access that anytime and we will not stop them from doing that,” Barbers said.
