Former Philippines president flying to The Hague after 'crimes against humanity' arrest
Tuesday, 11 March 2025 Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is on a plane to The Hague, the country's leader has said, after being arrested over a "war on drugs" that killed thousands.
Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte was taken into custody by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday 12 March.
The ICC, based in The Hague, believes there are "reasonable grounds" to charge Duterte with murder as a crime against humanity, as an "indirect co-perpetrator"...
Duterte Arrest: As the ICC’s arrest case against former President Rodrigo Duterte escalates, the Philippine Senate launches a high-stakes hearing. Senator Imee Marcos takes center stage, grilling key Cabinet ministers on their stance and involvement. Tensions rise within the administration as the country awaits a pivotal decision that could shape the future of Philippine democracy, international law, and Duterte’s legacy.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.

Duterte ICC Arrest: Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was taken into ICC custody after a dramatic 12-hour standoff with police. Authorities say Duterte initially refused to surrender, barricading himself inside his Davao City residence with armed loyalists. Negotiators worked through the night before Duterte ultimately relented. The arrest follows ICC charges of crimes against humanity linked to his deadly war on drugs. His legal team argues the arrest was illegal and politically motivated. The ICC will confirm charges in a hearing on September 23, which could determine whether Duterte faces trial in The Hague.
