    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: For the second time, Justice secretary’s claim on ICC jurisdiction over PH needs context

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 19, 2022 2:46 PM

    During the 136th session of the United Nations Human Rights Committee in Geneva last Oct. 11, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla reiterated the government’s position that the International Criminal Court (ICC) “has ceased having jurisdiction” over the Philippines. This lacks context.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, pahayag ng Justice secretary sa hurisdiksyon ng ICC sa PH nangangailangan ng konteksto

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 19, 2022 2:46 PM

    Sa ika-136 na sesyon ng United Nations Human Rights Committee sa Geneva noong Oktubre 11, muling iginiit ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla ang posisyon ng gobyerno na ang International Criminal Court (ICC) ay “nawalan na ng hurisdiksyon” sa Pilipinas. Ito ay kulang sa konteksto.

    Matobato: Duterte trusted Lascañas – The case at the ICC, Part 2

    By Antonio Montalvan II  |  Jul 16, 2021 4:15 AM

    Apart from unmasking the existence of the Davao Death Squad, self-confessed hitman Edgar Matobato had also introduced the name of Arturo Lascañas. In the private interview he gave after Rodrigo Duterte had won the presidency in 2016, when he was no longer in the Department of Justice’s Witness Protection Program, Matobato described the dominance that Lascañas had enjoyed in the DDS hierarchy.

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 17, 2020 2:25 PM
