Interpol

Interpol is assisting Philippine authorities in pursuing individuals accused of spreading disinformation, including Filipino vloggers abroad, though jurisdictional challenges remain. The organization also played a role in facilitating the arrest and extradition of former President Rodrigo Duterte to the ICC, clarifying that it acts as a coordinating body rather than an issuing authority for arrest warrants. Interpol's involvement continues to be scrutinized in cases like Harry Roque鈥檚 potential addition to its watchlist pending a court warrant, highlighting ongoing legal and procedural debates in the Philippines.
