LIVE | Rodrigo Duterte Arrested on ICC Warrant, Records Video Message on Way to Hague Jail
Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines, has vowed to "continue to serve" his country despite facing prosecution by the International Criminal Court. In a message recorded on the flight to the ICC in the Netherlands on Wednesday, he said for "what happened in the past, I will face it for our law enforcement and military."
The court on Wednesday took custody of the 79-year-old Duterte after he was detained in Manila on a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity. The charges relate to the deadly anti-drugs crackdowns he oversaw while in office.
