I am so happy that, even I really don't have time, I make this thread just for the very good news!
The ICC, the International Criminal Court, will start an investigation regarding the abuses of the so-called war on drugs of duterte...
Even if I know this will take years cguro, I am very happy !!!
The ICC announced Wednesday that the body's Pre-Trial Chamber I judges granted the request. An ICC statement said the chamber assessed that Duterte's "so-called 'war on drugs' campaign cannot be seen as a legitimate law enforcement operation and the killings neither as legitimate nor as mere excesses in an otherwise legitimate operation."
"Rather," the judges found, "the available material indicates, to the required standard, that a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population took place pursuant to or in furtherance of a state policy."
Events that will be investigated are limited to those throughout the Philippines between July 1, 2016 and March 16, 2019, and in the Davao area between November 1, 2011 and June 30, 2016. As such, the Philippines' wí†hdráwal from the Rome Statute, which took effect on March 17, 2019, has no effect on the ICC's jurisdiction over the alleged crimes in question.
