Duterte faces ICC charges; vows 'day of reckoning'

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte made his first appearance at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for a pre-trial hearing regarding alleged crimes against humanity during his drug war. His daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, is in The Hague to support him. Duterte participated in the hearing via video call and conveyed a message to his supporters through his daughter, urging them to remain calm. He is facing serious charges, with a confirmation of charges hearing scheduled for September 23. Duterte arrived in the Netherlands on Wednesday and was turned over to the ICC. He may apply for "interim release" as part of the proceedings.
