“The Philippines is no longer a member of the International Criminal Court.”
What Vera Files found
Article 127, paragraph 2 of the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC, states that a country that has withdrawn is not cleared of its obligations for incidents that occurred during its membership. The Philippines officially became a member of the ICC in November 2011, thus binding the country to the treaty’s provisions until its official withdrawal on March 17, 2019.
