Marcos is the latest and the highest public official who put into question ICC’s jurisdiction to investigate the drug-related killings under the Duterte administration.
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.

Iginiit ni Senador Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, dating hepe ng Philippine National Police (PNP), na ang imbestigasyon ng International Criminal Court (ICC) sa mga pagpatay na may kinalaman sa droga sa ilalim ng administrasyong Duterte ay lumalabag sa complementarity principle ng Rome Statute.

Hinamon ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla ang International Criminal Court (ICC) na ipakita sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang “pattern” ng umano’y state-sponsored killings sa ilalim ng war on drugs ng administrasyong Duterte. Kulang ito sa konteksto.
