DOJ Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla opposed the decision of the ICC, calling it a symbol of a return to colonialism. | zacariansINQ
“Hindi tayo pwede magpasakop sa mga taong nais pakialaman ang sistemang hustisya na gumagana naman sa ating bansa. Kaya ang pakikialam sa ating bansa ng mga banyagang ito ay para bang senyales din na gusto nilang bumalik sa colonialism, na hinding hindi tayo papayag,” he said during a press conference.
“Kung gusto nila tayo sakupin talagang magkakagulo … no conditions ‘yan, respect our sovereignty or else,” he added.Echoing the sentiments of the Office of the Solicitor General, the DOJ said that the ICC decision disregards the principle of complementarity under international law and “undermines the sovereignty of the Philippines.” The DOJ asserted anew that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the country.
It urged the ICC to “reconsider its decision and recognize the Philippines’ unwavering commitment to the rule of law and the pursuit of justice.”During the press briefing, Remulla also stressed that two ICC judges dissented from the ruling that rejected the Philippines’ appeal. This, he pointed out, shows that the country is in the right.
