The International Criminal Court has dismissed a plea from former president Rodrigo Duterte’s legal team to restrict the number of evidence items in the crimes against humanity case brought against him. The case centers on alleged murders linked to his administration’s anti-drug campaign. Duterte’s team had requested the court to cap the evidence at 10,000 items, a move the prosecution opposed. The ICC’s decision means the prosecution can present its full evidentiary case without the imposed restriction. This development potentially broadens the scope of evidence considered regarding the killings tied to the anti-drug campaign during the administration of Rodrigo Duterte. The court will now proceed with reviewing all submitted evidence. This case continues to draw international attention to the human rights situation in the Philippines.
