Duterte in custody over war on drugs charges

Former President Rodrigo Duterte has been taken into custody by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face charges of crimes against humanity related to his anti-drug campaign. He acknowledged his responsibility for the actions taken during this period. The ICC, located in The Hague, has found reasonable grounds to charge Duterte with murder as an indirect co-perpetrator. Rights groups estimate that tens of thousands died during his war on drugs. The Philippine Embassy in The Hague has provided assistance to Duterte following his arrival in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, a recent survey shows that 59% of Filipinos consider fake news a serious issue.
