00:00The Justice Department is now looking into whether former President Rodrigo Duterte violated the law
00:06in accordance with the International Humanitarian Law, according to Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia.
00:11Salima Refran has this report.
00:17I have killed many police officers in Davao, criminals.
00:22I am the one who committed the crime.
00:25I will admit that my order is to kill drug manufacturers and big-time drug distributors.
00:41So you really planned this?
00:42Well, that was part of the strategy as a mayor.
00:46Following his confession to the Quad Committee of the Camera,
00:50and based on other information,
00:52Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia said that the Department of Justice started the investigation
00:59against former President Rodrigo Duterte in accordance with the exterjudicial killing.
01:05I just talked to the head of the task force. Very, very good progress.
01:09The scope of the investigation is wide,
01:12from the time Duterte was the mayor of Davao until he became president
01:17and carried out his bloody war against illegal drugs.
01:21Of course, you're talking about several laws that come into play.
01:26You have the revised Penal Code and other special laws.
01:30IHL, International Humanitarian Law, is what we are targeting now
01:36because it is the law that the ICC is studying as well as the law that we have here.
01:43It's the law of the ICC actually. It's what they're using right now.
01:47The violations of R.A. 9851 or Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,
01:53Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity, is what Duterte is fighting against.
01:58It is the body of Crimes Against Humanity that the former president is facing in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
02:05We want the charges to be separate from each other.
02:11What we charge here and what the ICC charges have to be, if possible, will not overlap.
02:17Because even if we're not members of the ICC, the spirit of complementarity still applies.
02:27Duterte continues to get JMA Integrated News.
02:31According to his former presidential legal advisor, Attorney Salvador Panelo,
02:36why can't they just eat the case if there's evidence?
02:40We just cannot give you a day-to-day, blow-by-blow account.
02:44But we are evaluating everything very well.
02:46Sanima Refran, Nagbabalita for JMA Integrated News.
