A Facebook page is erroneously claiming that Justice Secretary Boying Remulla has ordered the imprisonment of Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. over the murder of his province’s governor, Roel Degamo.
Nakasaad sa Paragraph 2, Article 127 ng Rome Statute, ang kasunduan na nagtatatag ng ICC, na ang isang state party ay hindi nalilibre sa mga obligasyon nito sa panahon ng pagiging miyembro nito kahit kumalas na ito. Ang Pilipinas ay isang state party mula Nobyembre 1, 2011 hanggang Marso 16, 2019.
This is the fourth time Remulla skipped context regarding the jurisdiction of the ICC.
Another video falsely claims that Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla is being let go. Not true.
A string of inaccurate statements from incumbent officials has emerged after the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced on Jan. 26 that it will resume its drug war probe in the Philippines.
Among the five considerations of the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I were the pronouncements encouraging the killings under the drug war by former president Rodrigo Duterte and other officials and existence of drug watchlists.
Hinamon ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla ang International Criminal Court (ICC) na ipakita sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang “pattern” ng umano’y state-sponsored killings sa ilalim ng war on drugs ng administrasyong Duterte. Kulang ito sa konteksto.
Binatikos ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla ang International Criminal Court (ICC) dahil sa “pagpipilit na pumasok sa Pilipinas” upang imbestigahan ang mga pagpatay na may kaugnayan sa droga noong panahon ng administrasyong Duterte sa kabila ng pagkalas ng bansa sa Netherlands-based tribunal. Kailangan nito ng konteksto.
Article 127, paragraph 2 of the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC, states that a country that has withdrawn is not cleared of its obligations for incidents that occurred during its membership. The Philippines officially became a member of the ICC in November 2011, thus binding the country to the treaty’s provisions until its official withdrawal on March 17, 2019.
Contrary to Remulla’s statement, Cambodia and Timor-Leste are signatories to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
