In a decision dated June 19, ICC Trial Chamber III outlined the structure of the trial, guidelines on the presentation of evidence, order of witness questioning, protective measures, and rules on the public disclosure of records during the proceedings.

“There has not been any fall recorded in the last thirty days.”That’s the report of Marc Dubuisson, director of the Division of Judicial Services of the International Criminal Court, on behalf of Registrar Osvaldo Zavala Giler. It was dated May 20, referring to the documentation of the situation of former president Rodrigo Duterte at his detention cell in Scheveningen Prison in The Hague, Netherlands.

“In light of Mr Duterte’s advanced age and medical condition, any requirement that he attend hearings in person would likely necessitate significant health-related accommodations,” Haynes said.
