Philippines’ ex-president Rodrigo Duterte to face trial for crimes against humanity
International Criminal Court (ICC) judges have unanimously confirmed charges of crimes against humanity—including murder and attempted murder—against former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, clearing the way for his trial over brutal 'war on drugs' crackdowns that killed thousands of civilians during his presidency and earlier tenure as Davao City mayor. Duterte, arrested in Manila last year and transferred to The Hague, has denied the charges; his defense team’s arguments about his cognitive unfitness to stand trial and challenges to the ICC’s jurisdiction were both rejected by the court.
