Bato: Phl enforcing ICC arrest warrants 'illegal'
Malacañang has stated that if an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) is issued for Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, the Philippine government will serve it.
However, Senator Dela Rosa warned that it would be illegal for Philippine authorities to enforce any ICC arrest warrants, citing that such warrants do not come from a competent authority.
He further stated that the Philippines does not recognize an ICC arrest warrant because the country is no longer a member of the Rome Statute.
Dela Rosa had previously confirmed receiving communication from the ICC, which he chose to ignore.
He noted that the government's decision to surrender former President Rodrigo Duterte to the ICC caused division among Filipinos.
