💨 Abstract

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, 79, missed his first court hearing at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Friday due to exhaustion. He faces murder allegations related to his "war on drugs" and was arrested on an ICC warrant upon arriving in the Netherlands. Duterte confirmed his identity and age via video link, and his trial is expected to begin in early 2026.
