Order in the Court: Bato dela Rosa to The Hague?
It remains unclear if an arrest warrant has been issued against Senator Bato dela Rosa, as new rules from the International Criminal Court (ICC) complicate the situation.
However, Ombudsman Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla confirmed on November 8 that an ICC arrest warrant has been issued against Dela Rosa.
This development indicates that the former Philippine National Police chief could be arrested and brought to The Hague, Netherlands, potentially to be detained with former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Despite legal complexities, the article argues for Dela Rosa's trial at the ICC due to his role as the former PNP chief and architect of the tokhang policy under President Duterte.
John Nery, a Rappler columnist, will discuss this issue with Maria Kristina "Krissy" Conti, a Filipino lawyer accredited as assistant to counsel at the ICC.
Conti, a recognized human rights lawyer, was recently honored as one of the TOWNS awardees for her work.
