Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, has been officially accused of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the deaths of thousands of people during his campaign against drugs. The allegations include his involvement in the killing of 19 people in Davao City and other violent crimes committed between 2016 and 2022. Duterte, who has not apologized for his actions, is in the custody of the ICC, and his health raises questions about his participation in the trial. His case marks a historic moment for international justice, being the first Asian leader accused by the ICC.
