Duterte arrested for alleged crimes against humanity

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested for alleged crimes against humanity related to his controversial drug war. He was transferred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) after a stopover in Dubai. Duterte's handover was facilitated by current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who stated that the Philippines was fulfilling its legal obligations. This marks a significant shift in Marcos's stance, as he previously resisted ICC cooperation. The political relationship between the Duterte and Marcos families has soured since their alliance in the 2022 elections. Duterte's daughter, Vice-President Sara Duterte, criticized the arrest, calling it a violation of Philippine sovereignty.
