The Supreme Court will play a pivotal role in guiding the Philippine government on how to handle the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court , Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano said.According to Cayetano, the SC’s guidance would set legal precedence and help the public understand what to expect, especially when more arrest warrants will be issued by the ICC.“The Supreme Court still has time, so we can all have proper guidance.
But enforcing this rule is challenging and depends on the willingness of these countries to cooperate.In the case of the Philippines, he said any ICC action must operate within the bounds of the 1987 Constitution and Philippine laws. “Once the SC releases a writ of habeas corpus, then it it will be the duty of the Republic of the Philippines including the Department of Foreign Affairs and diplomatic efforts na return the former president in the country,” he said.
