Duterte arrested for murder charges by International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has arrested former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on charges of murder as a crime against humanity. This marks the first arrest of an Asian leader by the ICC, which handles serious international offenses. Duterte is accused of overseeing deadly anti-drug crackdowns during his presidency. He was taken to the ICC's detention center in The Hague, where he will have access to various facilities while awaiting trial. The ICC, established in 2002, relies on state cooperation for arrests and has issued numerous warrants, including for high-profile figures like Russian President Vladimir Putin. Currently, the court has 125 member states, with major powers like the U.S., Russia, and China not participating.
