ICC names presiding judge in Duterte’s appeal vs. jurisdiction ruling
The ICC Appeals Chamber appointed Judge Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza as the presiding judge for the appeal case of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte concerning the court's jurisdiction.
Duterte's defense lawyers are challenging a pre-trial ruling from October 23, 2025, which affirmed the ICC's jurisdiction over alleged crimes committed in the Philippines.
They are urging the Appeals Chamber to dismiss the proceedings against Duterte and secure his unconditional release.
Judge Ibáñez Carranza, an ICC judge since March 11, 2018, has extensive experience in prosecuting grave crimes and protecting human rights.
