PROFILE: From Davao to The Hague, Duterte's long road to the ICC | ABS-CBN News

Описание: Former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte skipped a confirmation of charges hearing at the International Criminal Court on Monday where he is accused of crimes against humanity for thousands of killings during the drug war.

Duterte's "war on drugs" was a signature policy after he swept to power in 2016 after vitriolic, crime-busting campaign vows to kill narcotics dealers.

Human rights groups claim that Philippine police and vigilantes under their direction murdered unarmed drug suspects on a massive scale on Duterte's watch, allegations that authorities have denied.

Duterte's defense lawyer Nicholas Kaufman has said Duterte "stands behind his legacy resolutely" and acknowledged that his client was "a unique phenomenon" who was "gung-ho in his ways" and full of "hyperbole, bluster and rhetoric."
