Judges at the International Criminal Court on Thursday upheld crimes against humanity charges against former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte over the deadly anti-drug campaign carried out during his tenure.
A three-judge panel unanimously concluded that there are “substantial grounds” to believe the former leader was responsible for multiple killings, both during his time as mayor of Davao City and later as president.
Duterte, 80, was arrested in the Philippines last year, though legal proceedings have been delayed due to concerns about his health.
