FULL HEARING: Rodrigo Duterte faces ICC pre-trial chamber

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte made his initial appearance before the International Criminal Court Pre-Trial Chamber 1 on Friday (March 14), two days after his high-profile arrest in relation to his administration's war on drugs.

The hearing was led by the same three female judges that issued the arrest warrant against former President Duterte: presiding Judge Iulia Antoanella Motoc, Judge Reine Adélaïde Sophie Alapini-Gansou, and Judge María del Socorro Flores Liera.

The ICC has been investigating Duterte for thousands of alleged state-sanctioned killings under his war on drugs that could amount to a crime against humanity.

Under the ICC Rules, a person subject to a warrant of arrest shall appear before the Pre-Trial Chamber and be informed of the crimes he is alleged to have committed, his rights under the Rome Statute, and the date for a hearing to confirm or decline to confirm the charges.

The initial appearance is one of two proceedings before any actual trial takes place. It is an integral part of ICC procedures because it ascertains the basic rights of any individual to be informed, not only of the charges they are facing but most importantly their rights, which include the right to apply for interim release pending trial.
