ICC outlines victim participation in Duterte probe

The International Criminal Court (ICC) Registry has submitted observations and proposed application processes for victims to participate in the investigation into former president Rodrigo Duterte's alleged crimes against humanity.

The submitted document includes guidelines for the admission process, application forms, identity documents available in the Philippines, and legal representation for victims.

The Registry recommended the adoption of the 'A-B-C Approach' for classifying victim applicants, a method already utilized by other ICC Chambers.

Under this approach, applicants are categorized into Group A (clear victims), Group B (clear non-victims), and Group C (undetermined status).

ICC Assistant to the Counsel Kristina Conti highlighted the inclusion of the household application form as a functional mechanism, appreciating accommodations for realities in the Philippines.
