Marcos government unwittingly prosecutes Duterte

By Antonio J. Montalvan II | Mar 14, 2023 1:20 PM

More than four years after it has been uttered, the statement from the ever-fluctuating Harry Roque only confirms the frail government position on the ICC case of Rodrigo Duterte. Shooting from the hips as always, Roque said then that the Duterte complaint before the ICC has been disproven by the Caloocan city regional trial court’s verdict convicting three police killers for the murder of 17-year old Kian delos Santos.

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.

VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Inquirer.net mali ang report na akusado sina Dela Rosa at Duterte sa ICC

By VERA Files | Mar 01, 2023 12:21 PM

Ang imbestigasyon ng ICC ay nasa paunang yugto ng pagsisiyasat at wala pang suspek na sinampahan ng kaso. Bagama’t pinangalanan sina Dela Rosa at Duterte sa hiling noong 2021 ni dating ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda na maglunsad ng imbestigasyon, wala pang kinikilalang mga kakasuhan ang Office of the Prosecutor sakaling magsampa ng kaso.
