VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Padilla echoes Marcos, Guevarra statements against ICC that lack context
The ICC retains jurisdiction over any crimes that occurred in the Philippines when it was still a state party from Nov. 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019.
The ICC retains jurisdiction over any crimes that occurred in the Philippines when it was still a state party from Nov. 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019.
May hurisdiksyon pa rin ang ICC sa anumang krimen na naganap sa Pilipinas noong ito ay state party mula Nob. 1, 2011 hanggang Marso 16, 2019. Hindi nawawala ang mga obligasyon ng isang dating state party tulad ng Pilipinas sa mga insidente na naganap sa panahon ng pagiging miyembro nito, batay sa Article 127 paragraph 2 ng Rome Statute, ang founding treaty ng ICC.
This is the fourth time Remulla skipped context regarding the jurisdiction of the ICC.
The Philippine government has requested the International Criminal Court (ICC) to deny the request by the families of alleged drug war victims to respond to the state’s appeal to stop the court’s investigation into former president Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody campaign.
By blocking the ICC probe through their legislative influence, aren't they putting the judicial system and Duterte's innocence in serious doubt? Therefore, the ICC probe becomes necessary.
Sa ilang pagkakataon mula noong 2016, may isang beses kahit paano sa isang taon na gumawa si Duterte ng mga pampublikong pahayag na nagpapahintulot sa mga alagad ng batas na pumatay ng mga suspek sa droga, partikular iyong mga pumapalag kapag inaaresto at lumalaban.
Former president Rodrigo Duterte made public statements ordering the killing of drug suspects at least once every year since 2016.
The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I noted that the investigation of the drug war done by the Philippine government covered only “low-ranking” police officers and failed to probe into the systemic nature of the crimes or identify the “most responsible” officials.
Nilinaw ng ICC na hindi nito nilayon na palitan ang mga lokal na korte dahil inuusig lamang nito ang mga kaso kapag ang mga estado ay napatunayang ayaw o walang kakayahan na gawin ito.
Bagama't pinangalanan sina Dela Rosa at dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa hiniling na imbestigasyon ni dating ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda noong Hunyo 2021, walang tinukoy na mga suspek sa drug probe ang Office of the Prosecutor.
