ICC prosecution submits 7th batch of evidence against Duterte
The International Criminal Court's (ICC) Office of the Prosecutor has submitted its seventh batch of evidence in the case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte concerning the alleged crime against humanity of murder during his administration's war on drugs.
The prosecution disclosed 129 additional items on May 30, adding to the 267 items submitted since April 30.
ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, currently on leave pending an investigation into alleged misconduct, stated in April that the prosecution holds 130,000 items in its relativity database requiring legal review before disclosure.
The prosecution has until July 1 to submit evidence for the confirmation of charges hearing scheduled for September 23, 2025.
Duterte was arrested by the ICC on March 11, 2025, through Interpol for alleged crimes against humanity committed during his anti-drug program.
He has since been detained at the ICC detention facility in The Hague, Netherlands.
In May, the ICC rejected the Duterte camp's request to disqualify two of the three judges handling the former president's case.
