Philippines DOJ may comply with future ICC arrest warrants

inquirer.net

The Philippine Department of Justice (DOJ) stated it may comply with Interpol regarding future arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court (ICC) related to former President Duterte's drug war. This follows Duterte's recent arrest for alleged crimes against humanity. DOJ spokesperson Mico Clavano noted that while the DOJ is obligated to cooperate with Interpol, it is still uncertain if they will do so. The government’s stance on Duterte's actions during his presidency remains a factor. Senator Bato dela Rosa, a key figure in Duterte's drug war, is under scrutiny as a potential co-accused. He previously led the police during the controversial campaign, which resulted in thousands of deaths.
