In a dramatic turn of events, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested in Manila following an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for crimes against humanity.
Duterte, who led a controversial anti-drug crackdown from 2016 to 2022, is accused of overseeing thousands of extrajudicial killings during his brutal “war on drugs.” The arrest at Manila airport comes amid global scrutiny, with human rights groups demanding justice for the victims. While his supporters call the move politically motivated, critics hail it as a step toward accountability.
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.

Netanyahu praised Hungary’s plan to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, branding it “corrupt” and “political.” Standing beside PM Viktor Orbán in Budapest, Netanyahu thanked Hungary for opposing what he called a biased body targeting democratic nations. Orbán cited the ICC’s actions as unacceptable, while rights groups warned the move weakens global justice. The visit marks Netanyahu’s latest defiant appearance abroad amid an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, positioning Hungary as one of his few international allies.
