The International Criminal Court (ICC) has ordered the arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, the former President of the Philippines, at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Duterte, now 79, was apprehended upon returning from a trip to Hong Kong, in response to an ongoing investigation into allegations of crimes against humanity under his administration.
This action by the ICC is related to Duterte’s controversial war on drugs, which has been the subject of international scrutiny due to reports of widespread extrajudicial killings.
