Duterte to Face ICC Trial

The confirmed charges cover dozens of murders allegedly committed while Duterte served as mayor of Davao and later as president from 2016 to 2022.

This landmark ruling marks a significant test for the ICC as it faces mounting political pressure from Manila.

Duterte, who was arrested last year and flown to the Hague, continues to deny all charges against him.

The trial is expected to begin within the next year, focusing on the thousands of extrajudicial killings reported during his administration's anti-narcotics crackdown.
