Duterte Remains Detained in ICC: Health & Crimes Against Humanity
Update: 2025-11-28
Description
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte remains in detention at the International Criminal Court, despite his defense teams arguments for his release due to advanced age and declining health. Duterte faces charges of crimes against humanity related to his war on drugs during his presidency, which resulted in numerous killings. The court dismissed his appeal, citing concerns about his potential refusal to return for trial and intimidation of witnesses. Dutertes legal team argues that his continued detention is cruel and that his cognitive abilities have declined, but the court maintains that transferring him to another member states custody would not mitigate the risks.
