Duterte faces ICC murder charges via video link

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte attended his first International Criminal Court hearing via video link due to fatigue from his flight. He faces murder charges related to his controversial "war on drugs." Duterte was arrested in the Netherlands on an ICC warrant and is accused of crimes against humanity for alleged extrajudicial killings. He is the first Asian former head of state to face trial at the ICC. During the hearing, judges summarized the allegations, and Duterte confirmed his identity. He will be represented by a court-appointed defense counsel. A confirmation of charges hearing is expected in several months.
