00:00The family of the victims of extrajudicial killings, or EJK, is hoping that they can use the justice
00:07that the International Criminal Court will now pass on to former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:13What is ICC and how extensive is its scope?
00:17Here is the first news of Darling Kai.
00:217 years have passed, but what happened on May 12, 2017 is still fresh in the memory of Nanay Liori.
00:29This is the day when her two children, both killed in a gunfight,
00:34and found hanged in the UP Arboretum in Quezon City.
00:41One day before that, her older son, Crisanto, said goodbye.
00:45He was just about to get his license as a security guard.
00:49It was already afternoon, but Crisanto had not yet returned.
00:54They also noticed that Crisanto's younger brother, Juan Carlos, was missing.
00:59The next day, they received the shocking news.
01:05They were watching TV, but I don't remember which station.
01:09There, they flashed their report,
01:13that a vehicle was found in the Arboretum.
01:18I looked at it, and it was them.
01:21In the report of the Philippine National Police,
01:24Crisanto and Juan Carlos are said to be hold-uppers who fought the police.
01:29Crisanto's mother, however, did not want her children to do that.
01:50According to the Philippine National Police,
01:52more than 6,000 people were killed in the war on drugs.
01:56According to some human rights groups,
01:58such as the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines,
02:01more than 30,000 people were killed in the drug war.
02:06Victims believe that they will have a hard time getting justice here in the Philippines
02:11because the enemies are the police and senior government officials.
02:17That's why they filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court or ICC in 2018.
02:23The ICC opened the preliminary examination in 2018.
02:27The former Duterte administration became anxious
02:30as to where the ICC will enter the country.
02:33That's why it decided to leave the ICC.
02:38According to the ICC, the Philippines will not be safe from investigation.
02:43The jurisdiction or power of the ICC is still in our hands until 2019
02:49before the Philippines becomes effective.
02:53But wait, what is the ICC?
02:56The International Criminal Court is a court based in The Hague, the Netherlands.
03:01It is composed of 123 state parties or countries from different parts of the world.
03:07It investigates and investigates the individuals
03:11who are suspected of committing serious crimes such as genocide,
03:20war crimes,
03:24crimes against humanity,
03:29and crimes of aggression.
03:35It was established in 1998 through the Rome Statute,
03:39an international treaty that establishes the goals, objectives, and objectives of the ICC.
03:46The ICC is the product of the world's experience of atrocities.
03:52What usually happens is internal,
03:55and it is the state itself that violates its people.
04:01The international community came up with a court to investigate such crimes
04:09because it is limited if the state is the one committing the crime,
04:13it will not answer for it.
04:23The first rule of the war on aggression issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity.
04:29Sir, you have the right to remain silent.
04:31Sir, you have the right to remain silent.
04:50Lori's mother said that many of the families of victims of violence
04:55did not expect justice to be served.
04:59But she said she will not give up.
05:02She will fight for justice for Crisanto, Juan Carlos,
05:08and all the victims who are now with their families.
