The Human Rights Watch warned that Marcos could be exposing himself as a 'pariah' to western countries that value human rights and harm his credibility with the international community by denouncing the ICC.
Metro Manila — The Office of the Secretary General , the legal defender of the national government, expressed disappointment over the International Criminal Court's decision to proceed with its investigation into the Duterte administration's bloody war on drugs.
The Department of Justice previously said it will not execute any arrest warrants from the ICC in relation to the drug war as it stressed that the country has its own legal system. The campaign claimed over 6,000 lives, according to the government. However, local and international human rights groups estimate a tally of between 12,000 and 30,000 deaths.
The victims have asked to be represented by an independent legal representative, according to the National Union of Peoples' Lawyers, and intend to speak with both the prosecutor's office and the office of the public counsel for victims.
