ICC confirms crimes against humanity charges against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, setting stage for trial
A three-judge panel at the International Criminal Court unanimously confirmed three counts of murder as crimes against humanity against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday. Judges found substantial grounds to believe Duterte was responsible for murders committed during his anti-drugs crackdowns both as mayor of Davao and as president from 2016 to 2022. A trial date has not yet been set, and Duterte, who was arrested in the Philippines last year and transferred to The Hague, denies all charges.
