Raab and Dutch counterpart raise support for the Hague
Dominic Raab co-hosts a press conference with his Dutch counterpart Dilan Yesilgoz-Zegerius, saying it is a "powerful" moment to bring countries together and support the ICC.
This comes after the Hague issued an arrest warrant on Friday for President Putin over his alleged war crimes in Ukraine.
The justice secretary says we need to "deal with Russian aggression" and goes on to say that China should tell Russia to "adhere to international law" as the Chinese President visits Russia today.

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.

President Vladimir Putin announced Russiaâs recapture of Kursk, the strategic border region Ukraine invaded last year. Praising his military units, Putin declared that all Ukrainian forces have been pushed out completely. This victory, seen as symbolic and military, marks a significant achievement for Russia in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. As Putin hailed the triumph over "neo-Nazi" forces, the development coincides with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's attendance at Pope Francisâ funeral.

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 stepâcourt presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as âabuse of processâ by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of âextrajudicial rendition,â urging a review ahead of the ICCâs pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.
