MSOpinion Absurd reactions to the ICC issue 'While everyone has the right to comment on public issues, the government should not be faulted for sending to the trash bin such absurd comments on serious matters involving international law'
for sending to the trash bin such absurd comments on serious matters involving international law
Explaining that refusal, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla points out the Philippines has already withdrawn from the Rome Statute, the international treaty creating the ICC. The justice system in the Philippines, Remulla stressed, is functioning efficiently, which means the ICC has no jurisdiction to investigate in the Philippines even if Manila did not withdraw from the Rome Statute.
Recently, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra suggested a local commission be created to investigate the drug war of the Duterte administration. At the end of the day, the manner by which the Philippine government enforces Philippine law is none of the ICC’s business, because the Philippines has withdrawn from the Rome Statute, and because the existing justice system in the Philippines is functioning efficiently.
Surprisingly, Guevarra filed an appeal asking the ICC to reconsider its rejection of his earlier request. Does Guevarra also expect the ICC to reconsider its ruling?
