The International Criminal Court (ICC) has formally charged former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte with three crimes against humanity. The charges arise from his extensive campaign targeting drug users, which human rights groups argue resulted in the deaths of thousands of individuals. The prosecution alleges that Duterte’s policies and actions violated fundamental human rights, particularly those related to freedom of movement and the rights of marginalized communities. The charges include involvement in the deliberate killing of individuals through organized violence and the suppression of dissent. The ICC is investigating the allegations and will determine whether a trial is possible.
