Duterte arrested by ICC for crimes against humanity

Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is set to appear at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity. He is the first former leader from Asia to be arrested by the ICC. The ICC prosecutes serious international crimes, including genocide and war crimes, when countries cannot or will not do so. It has 125 member states, but major powers like the U.S., China, and Russia are not members. Detainees at the ICC's facility have access to various amenities, including a library and fitness facilities. If convicted, Duterte will serve his sentence in a different country, not in The Hague.
