Former President Duterte says ICC should 'hurry up' on drug war investigation
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Wednesday, November 13, the International Criminal Court (ICC) should 'hurry up' with its probe of his war on drugs, during a congressional hearing into the bloody crackdown on narcotics that killed thousands of Filipinos, in Manila.
The office of the current president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. issued a statement hours later indicating it would be willing to consider handing Duterte over if an Interpol request was made.
The statement was significant, marking the first time the Philippine government has suggested it would cooperate with the ICC, which last year cleared the way for an investigation into the bloody campaign that defined Duterte's 2016-2022 presidency.
