Palace: Rejoining ICC not on Marcos Jr.'s agenda

Malacañang clarified that rejoining the International Criminal Court (ICC) is not on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s agenda and has not been discussed by the administration.

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro stated that the matter has not been raised with the President and is not part of the current foreign policy agenda "as of now."

Castro previously mentioned that President Marcos Jr. was open to discussions regarding the Philippines rejoining the ICC, though the matter was not actively being discussed at that time.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will assist witnesses in testifying on cases related to the previous administration's war on drugs but will not directly cooperate with the ICC.
