💨 Abstract

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte appeared before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Friday, confirming his identity and date of birth via a video link. Duterte's lawyer claimed he was "abducted" and is too ill to give evidence. Prosecutors have accused Duterte of carrying out a systematic attack on civilians during his presidency, resulting in thousands of deaths.
