JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla yesterday challenged the International Criminal Court to investigate the operations of drug cartels in the country instead of focusing on the government’s anti-illegal drug war campaign.
He said investigating and prosecuting drug cartels should be ICC’s priority considering its decision to proceed with the investigation into the country’s illegal drug problem. He noted that is no mechanism in the Rome Statute by which the ICC can send their investigators to the country, more so since the Philippines has a fully functioning justice system.
