Event Summary

Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in Manila and subsequently extradited to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity by the International — International Criminal Court. The charges stem from his 'war on drugs' campaign, which human rights groups estimate led to tens of thousands of deaths. Current Philippines President Bongbong Marcos confirmed the arrest and extradition, stating that the government complied with an International — Interpol warrant. Rodrigo Duterte's daughter, Sara Duterte, condemned the arrest as 'oppression and persecution'. China also issued a warning to the International — International Criminal Court against 'politicisation' of the case. The International — International Criminal Court maintains jurisdiction over crimes committed before the Philippines withdrew from the court in 2019.
