Duterte camp seeks ‘status conference’ with ICC judges
The defense team of former President Rodrigo Duterte has formally requested the International Criminal Court (ICC) Pre-Trial Chamber I to convene an "urgent status conference" before the court's summer recess begins on July 25.
The defense believes the conference is necessary to determine if the current timeline for the confirmation of charges hearing remains feasible due to cited delays.
The confirmation of charges hearing is scheduled to begin on September 23, with judges to announce their decision on whether the case proceeds to trial within 60 days.
Delays cited by the defense include a month-long wait for redacted information requested on April 15, which was received on May 16.
Further delays involve redacted information supplied on July 7 after being requested on May 16, and other outstanding redacted requests made over a month ago.
