LIVE: Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to arrive in the Netherlands after arrest |ICC
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is set to arrive in the Netherlands following his arrest at Manila’s airport under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for crimes against humanity. Duterte, who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, faces charges over thousands of extrajudicial killings during his controversial "war on drugs." Despite the Philippines’ withdrawal from the ICC in 2019, the court maintains jurisdiction over crimes committed before then. His transfer to The Hague marks a historic moment in international justice.
