Duterte faces charges at ICC for war on drugs

Rodrigo Duterte is set to appear at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Friday. He faces charges of crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs in the Philippines, which allegedly resulted in thousands of deaths. Duterte's arrival followed a tense standoff in Manila, where he resisted arrest. His legal team claims Philippine authorities violated his rights during the process. His daughter, Sara Duterte, is in The Hague to support him amid family tensions with the current president. The ICC's Chief Prosecutor called Duterte's arrest a significant moment for victims of his policies. The initial hearing will inform Duterte of the charges and his rights, with further proceedings to follow.
