Senator Bato Dela Rosa and retired police chief Oscar Albayalde may soon face arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for their involvement in the previous administration's drug war. An ICC assistant indicated they could be next. Dela Rosa was the first chief of the Philippine National Police under President Duterte and led the controversial drug campaign. Albayalde succeeded him and continued the operations, both facing accusations of crimes against humanity. The Philippine Palace stated it has not received any official notice from Interpol regarding Dela Rosa and Albayalde. No further details have been provided about the potential ICC actions.
