Philippines to 'respond favourably' if ICC seeks Interpol arrest warrants over drugs crackdown
- The Philippines will respond favorably if the International Criminal Court seeks arrest warrants through Interpol related to the investigation of former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs, as stated by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
- Thousands of people were killed during Duterte's anti-drug crackdown, prompting the ICC to investigate possible crimes against humanity, with police reporting 6,200 suspects killed in operations that they claim ended in shootouts.
- Justice Minister Jesus Crispin Remulla expressed openness to discussing the war on drugs with the ICC, while the Philippines' stance on withdrawing from the ICC remains unchanged, according to Bersamin.
- Senator Risa Hontiveros called Remulla's willingness to engage with the ICC a silver lining for victims of extrajudicial killings, urging the government to assist in the investigation for justice.
