DUTERTE WON’T CO-OPERATE

-

PHILIPPINE­S President Rodrigo Duterte will not co-operate with the Internatio­nal Criminal Court’s probe into the Philippine­s’ drug war, his lawyer said yesterday, after its judges found the crackdown could be a crime against humanity. ICC judges authorised a probe into Duterte’s antinarcot­ics campaign, which rights groups estimate has killed tens of thousands of people. Duterte pulled Manila out of th court after it launched a probe, but the ICC said crimes were committed while the Philippine­s was still a member. |
