Duterte Makes First Appearance at International Criminal Court
Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines, appeared by video at a pre-trial hearing on charges of crimes against humanity for the killing of tens of thousands of civilians in his antidrug campaign.
“I would like, firstly, to confirm your identity.” “Rodrigo Roa Duterte.” “Justice for the victims of Duterte’s crimes. Justice — to the memory of his victims.” “We hope that the I.C.C. stands with the Filipino people and jail Duterte, who allowed the murder, the massacres of Filipino children.” “Many, many names — the tens of thousands of people who were killed.” “Drag him back. Send him back.” “Duterte, Duterte.” “We assert that those allegations will, of course, remain allegations. Allegations until it is proven, right? We maintain that the former president, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, should be brought back to the Philippines.”
