A months-old clip of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta "revealing" an issue on confidential funds during Rep. Leila de Lima's term as Justice secretary is circulating on FB. This needs context.
Kamakailan, naglabas ng listahan ng departure requirements ang Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking para raw protektahan ang Filipino travelers at siguraduhin na hindi sila mabibiktima ng mga sindikato ng human trafficking. Makalipas ang isang linggo, Aug. 31, sinuspende ito ng Department of Justice.
This is the fourth time Remulla skipped context regarding the jurisdiction of the ICC.
It is part of the Philippines’ exercise of its sovereignty when it acceded to the Rome Statute in November 2011, hence binding the country to the treaty provisions from that date until its withdrawal on Mar. 16, 2019.
Nakasaad sa Article 127, paragraph 2 ng Rome Statute na ang isang bansang nag-withdraw ay nananatiling may mga pananagutan sa mga insidente na nangyari sa panahon ng pagiging miyembro nito. Bahagi ng paggamit ng Pilipinas ng soberanya nito ang pagsang-ayon sa Rome Statute noong Nobyembre 2011, na nagbubuklod sa bansa sa mga probisyon ng kasunduan mula sa petsang iyon hanggang sa pagkalas nito noong Marso 16, 2019.
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Article 127, paragraph 2 of the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC, states that a country that has withdrawn is not cleared of its obligations for incidents that occurred during its membership.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).
Hindi totoo ang sinabi ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla na walang bansa sa Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) na miyembro ng International Criminal Court (ICC).
Other countries' declaration of an entity as “terrorist” is not part of the Philippines’ requirements to designate groups as “terrorist” under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020.
