“Vice President Sara Duterte echoes the claim of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that the International Criminal court has ceased to have jurisdiction over the Philippines.”
What Vera Files found
The Rome Statute—the founding treaty of the ICC—provides that a state party is not exempt from its obligations for the duration of its membership even if it has withdrawn. The ICC retains jurisdiction over any crimes that occurred in the Philippines when it was still a state party from Nov. 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019.
