3 experts eyed to assess Duterte's mental fitness for crimes vs humanity trial
The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecution has proposed selecting three medical experts to evaluate former president Rodrigo Duterte's mental fitness to stand trial for alleged crimes against humanity.
These specialists are to focus on forensic psychiatry, neuropsychology, and behavioral neurology.
The selection of these experts was detailed in a public redacted document released by the ICC on October 9, 2025.
The Prosecution has indicated their support for a multidisciplinary panel to assess Mr. Duterte's fitness.
The proposed experts have confirmed their availability in September and October for this assessment.
Additionally, the Prosecution objected to one expert suggested by the Defense due to concerns about potential bias.
