Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, the chief implementer of the controversial war on drugs during the Duterte administration, claimed without citing proof that no crimes against humanity occurred in the government’s anti-drug campaign.
Walang binabanggit na patunay, iginiit ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, ang punong tagapagpatupad ng kontrobersyal na digmaan laban sa droga noong administrasyong Duterte, na walang krimen laban sa sangkatauhan ang naganap sa kampanya kontra droga ng gobyerno.
Hindi totoo ang sinabi ng abogadong si Larry Gadon na si retired International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda ay idineklarang persona non grata ng United States (U.S.) dahil sa “pag-imbento” ng mga kaso ng mga paglabag sa karapatang pantao.
Lawyer Larry Gadon falsely claimed that retired International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda was declared persona non grata by the United States (U.S.) for “inventing” cases of human rights violations.
The threat was attributed to presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, but he never said this.
Chief prosecutors of the international court have a non-renewable term of nine years. Bensouda’s started in 2012 and is scheduled to end in June.
The one thing that spooks President Duterte fiercely is the case of crime against humanity brought against him before the International Criminal Court in The Hague which gave him the dubious distinction of being the first Southeast Asian leader to be charged before the ICC.
President Duterte’s incessant rants against Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda of the International Criminal Court betray how deeply the communication submitted by lawyer Jude Sabio, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Rep. Gary Alejano (Magdalo Partylist) has stung him.
