MANILA, Philippines — Following a similar move by Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (Pampanga) and her allies at the House of Representatives, Sen. Robinhood “Robin” Padilla on Monday filed a resolution asking the Senate to declare its “unequivocal defense” of former President Rodrigo Duterte before the International Criminal Court.

 

Padilla, in Senate Resolution No. 488, urged the Senate body — which concurred to the Rome Statute that created the ICC — to defend Duterte “against the investigation or prosecution” by the international tribunal.

 

The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber, in late January, authorized the reopening of an inquiry into allegations of crimes against humanity in the conduct of the brutal “war on drugs” campaign by Duterte.
