Rodrigo Duterte arrested: What’s next?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for former President Rodrigo Duterte on March 7, citing reasonable grounds for crimes against humanity, including murder, committed between November 1, 2011, and March 16, 2019.
Duterte was arrested on Tuesday morning following the issuance of an arrest warrant against him by the ICC and brought to Villamor Air Base in Pasay City.
According to the ICC, an arrested individual must be brought promptly before the competent judicial authority in the custodial state to determine the validity of the arrest and due process.
If an order for surrender is issued, Duterte will be delivered to the ICC Detention Center in The Hague, Netherlands.
Subsequently, the Pre-Trial Chamber will hold a hearing to confirm his identity, ensure he understands the charges, and set a date to begin the confirmation of charges hearing.
Following the confirmation hearing, the Pre-Trial Chamber may decline to confirm the charges, adjourn the hearing for further investigation, or confirm the charges and commit the case for trial.
