Q and A: Ex-PH officials’ ICC complaint vs Xi Jinping, explained
Retired Supreme Court senior associate justice Antonio Carpio has joined the legal team representing former Philippine officials in a complaint against Chinese President Xi Jinping at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The complaint accuses Xi and other Chinese officials of committing crimes against humanity due to environmental damage in the South China Sea.
Carpio will serve as counsel for former foreign secretary Albert del Rosario and former ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales.
The legal team is set to submit an additional communication to the ICC this week, asserting the court's jurisdiction over the case.
Carpio is renowned for his legal expertise and his role in the Philippines' successful 2016 Hague ruling against China regarding the South China Sea.
