ICC chamber seeks counsel, prosecution ‘observations’ in Duterte’s jurisdiction appeal
The International Criminal Court (ICC) Appeals Chamber has ordered additional legal submissions from the prosecution and counsel for victims regarding former President Rodrigo Duterte's appeal against the court's jurisdiction.
The additional observations are due by January 16, 2026, with Duterte's defense allowed to respond by January 23, 2026.
The Appeals Chamber, presided over by Judge Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, seeks further clarification on how Articles 12(2) and 13(c) of the Rome Statute apply following the Philippines' withdrawal from the ICC.
Previously, the ICC stated it found that the Court can exercise its jurisdiction over the alleged crimes committed on Philippine territory while it was a State Party.
