Former President Rodrigo Duterte could not attend his pre-trial hearing at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague due to health issues. He participated via video call instead.

Duterte was in the Netherlands following an ICC arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity during his presidency from 2011 to 2019.
