The government has suffered another setback in its effort to stop the investigation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on drug-related crimes during the Duterte administration as an office of public lawyers in the tribunal shot down all the arguments it presented. In an April 18 submission, the Office of Public Counsel for Victims (OPCV)
Noong Marso 29, sinabi ni Sen. Francis Tolentino na "tinanggap niya ang panukala" na maging abogado ng kanyang kasamahan na si Sen. Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, sa International Criminal Court. Nangangailangan ito ng konteksto.
On March 29, Sen. Francis Tolentino said he had “accepted the proposal” to be counsel of his colleague, Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The government wants to refute the arguments made by International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan last week in pressing to continue its investigation into alleged crimes against humanity under the Duterte administration’s “war on drugs.”
International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan has insisted that the “extremely serious” drug-related crimes committed during the Duterte administration were encouraged by the former president himself and other top state officials.
Perhaps Duterte's defenders are well aware that it would be difficult to win the battle with the ICC legally, so they are trying to win over the public by engaging in disinformation and discrediting the ICC.

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.
