Lawyer says Philippines' Duterte was 'abducted,' too ill to testify at ICC
Quick Glance: Duterte's Arrest: Lessons for Dictators
  • The arrest of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court (ICC) sends a strong message to other authoritarian leaders that withdrawing from the ICC does not shield them from accountability for crimes.

  • The current Philippine administration should demonstrate its support for Duterte's arrest by rejoining the Rome Statute and cooperating fully with the ICC.

  • Dictators must understand that political dynasties and succession plans do not protect them from prosecution, and strengthening justice systems is essential for a fair society.
