“The International Criminal Court no longer has jurisdiction over the Philippines following its withdrawal from the Rome Statute.”
What Vera Files found
Article 127, paragraph 2 of the Rome Statute, the treaty that founded the ICC, provides that a country that has withdrawn is not cleared of its obligations that occurred during its membership. The Philippines acceded to the Rome Statute in November 2011, thus binding the country to the provisions from that date until its withdrawal became effective on March 16, 2019.
