Former Philippine leader appears at ICC
The International Criminal Court in The Hague has, for the first time, summoned former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to appear in person, in a case concerning allegations of crimes against humanity committed during his war on drugs, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of people between 2011 and 2019. Duterte, who is 81 years old, faces accusations of responsibility for wide and systematic attacks targeting civilians, although he denies the charges. His appearance before the court follows a previous hearing via video link, and the court confirmed that he is free to leave the courtroom at any time, amid concerns about his health, which have affected his ability to participate in the upcoming trial scheduled for November.
