Atty. Kristina Conti says the International Criminal Court investigation on the Duterte administration's bloody drug war should proceed as they wait for the result of the Philippine government's appeal to halt it again.
The resolutions filed by lawmakers defending former President Rodrigo Duterte from the International Criminal Court’s investigation on his bloody drug war has no bearing on the proceedings, a lawyer said.
“No, that’s a political branch of government, that’s the legislative, or law-making branch speaking for a judicial independent body or judicial proceeding,” Atty.
“I think this is really a whole of nation approach to say that we will not cooperate because we will protect President Duterte," she added."Of course, that will not be tenable to the international community." The lawyer also said in the case of Pangilinan vs. Cayetano, the Supreme Court ruled that the Philippines should cooperate in the probe and the country still has obligations to the ICC being a member from 2011 to 2019.
For now, Conti said the investigation should proceed as they also wait for the result on the appeal of the Philippine government to reverse the pre-trial chamber’s decision to resume the drug war probe.
