Duterte may face more charges — ICC lawyer
The number of criminal charges against former president Rodrigo Duterte before the International Criminal Court (ICC) could increase once the confirmation of charges begins on September 23.
Currently, Duterte faces a single charge of crimes against humanity for murder, stemming from alleged acts committed between November 1, 2011, and March 16, 2019.
An ICC-accredited lawyer, Gilbert Andres, explained that the prosecution could present additional evidence to support new charges.
These potential new charges could include crimes such as torture, arbitrary detention, or even rape.
The confirmation of charges stage is significant as it defines the scope and boundaries of the final charges against Duterte.
