Event Summary

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila's international airport on March 11, 2025, following an arrest warrant issued by the International — International Criminal Court (ICC). The arrest is in connection with alleged crimes against humanity committed during his 'war on drugs' campaign, which resulted in thousands of deaths. The ICC's investigation covers the period from November 1, 2011, when Rodrigo Duterte was mayor of Philippines — Davao City, to March 16, 2019. Rodrigo Duterte had withdrawn the Philippines from the Rome Statute in 2019, attempting to suspend the ICC's investigation, but appeals judges ruled in July 2023 that the inquiry could resume. Current President Bongbong Marcos has stated that while the Philippines will not rejoin the ICC, his administration will cooperate with the court's requests for Rodrigo Duterte's custody. The arrest has sparked protests from Rodrigo Duterte's allies, who claim it violates his constitutional rights.
