Duterte faces arrest for alleged drug war killings

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on an International Criminal Court warrant for alleged crimes against humanity linked to his controversial "war on drugs." He faces accusations of overseeing thousands of unlawful killings during his presidency. Duterte has claimed he is not responsible for any deaths, despite police estimates of around 6,000 killings. Rights groups suggest the actual death toll could be between 12,000 and 30,000, with many cases remaining unexplained. Duterte's past statements included a willingness to kill drug addicts and a disregard for human rights. He openly encouraged violence against drug users and dealers, asserting that he would continue his aggressive campaign until the end of his term.
