The ICC’s outgoing chief prosecutor on Monday recommended an investigation into the allegations of tens of thousands of murders committed by the police in the Philippines.
The killings were committed during Duterte’s so-called war on drugs in the years 2016 to 2019, when he openly encouraged police officers to kill suspects.
– The president will never cooperate during his term, which expires June 30, 2022, says Duterte’s spokesman Harry Roque.
According to him, the ICC also has no jurisdiction in the Philippines as the country withdrew from the court in 2019.
