A recent claim stated that the International Criminal Court (ICC) dismissed the case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte regarding drug war killings. This claim is false. The ICC actually rejected the Philippine government's appeal to halt the investigation, allowing it to continue. A news report confirmed this, showing that the investigation into Duterte's actions remains active. Duterte was arrested on March 11 under an ICC warrant and was flown to the Netherlands for a hearing on March 14. The arrest is related to allegations of crimes against humanity during his presidency.
