ICC Appeals Chamber urged to dismiss Rodrigo Duterte's appeal for interim release
The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) at the International Criminal Court (ICC) has urged the Appeals Chamber to reject former President Rodrigo Duterte's appeal for interim release.
The OTP argues that Duterte's defense failed to demonstrate any legal or factual errors in the original decision to keep him detained.
The Pre-Trial Chamber previously denied Duterte's request based on the necessity to ensure his appearance at trial, prevent obstruction of justice, and stop the commission of alleged crimes.
The Prosecution contends that Duterte's appeal merely expresses disagreement with the decision and misinterprets the relevant laws and the chamber's reasoning.
A key aspect of the Prosecution's argument revolves around the evidentiary threshold used to assess the risk of flight and obstruction.
