‘MALAYBALAY CITY — The International Criminal Court appeals judges on Tuesday rejected the Philippine government’s appeal to stop the investigation of the ICC Office of the Prosecutor into the “drug war” killings in the country.
It affirmed the earlier decision of the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber to allow Prosecutor Karim Khan to continue with his investigation, as well as bars the Philippines from filing further appeal. Official statistics placed the number of “drug war” deaths at over 6,000. But human rights groups said that up to 30,000 may have been killed by law enforcers in furtherance of a State policy and can therefore be considered crimes against humanity.
Philippine officials added that the ICC no longer has jurisdiction over the Philippines, as the country had withdrawn from the Rome Statute, the treaty that created the court in 2002.As a senator in 2011, Marcos voted for the treaty.
