00:00The Department of Justice is working with the police, the Chamber and the Senate to gather evidence for the cases that will be filed against former President Rodrigo Duterte,
00:10including the war on drugs. According to the expert, it is possible that the actions of the Philippines will be implicated in the investigation of the International Criminal Court.
00:20Salima Refran has the first news.
00:22The task force EJK or Extrajudicial Killings of the Department of Justice has been working for 60 days for the case build-up of the murders during the war on drugs of the Duterte administration,
00:37including the investigations of former President Rodrigo Duterte, according to his statements in the hearing of the House Squad Committee.
00:45Were you killed?
00:49Me? A lot. About 6 or 7.
00:54The task force EJK is responsible for the NBI and PNP in the build-up and investigation of the evidence,
00:59while the task force is also coordinating with the Camera Squad, Senate Committees, and the Commission on Human Rights for the results of their hearings and investigations.
01:10For us to know what can be followed, what can be investigated, and if there are cases that can be investigated in the preliminary investigation before the prosecution service of the Department of Justice.
01:33According to Justice Secretary Remulia, the possible confrontation of Duterte is being looked at in the violation of RA 9851 or International Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and other crimes against humanity.
01:47According to the Commission on Human Rights, out of the three crimes included in RA 9851, other crimes against humanity can be used in the aftermath of the war on drugs.
01:58But the CHR believes that this is not enough to answer these.
02:03According to the Center for International Law or Center Law, a human rights and public interest advocate group, it is only now that there will be a demand under RA 9851.
02:14But the presence of litigation in the local court against Duterte related to crimes against humanity has implications in the investigation being conducted by the International Criminal Court against Duterte in the same complaint.
02:28Every period that we are a member of the ICC, there will be overlap and duplication.
02:36If there's really going to be a genuine prosecution domestically, there's a possibility that the ICC will suspend its ongoing investigation.
02:49In order for that not to happen, the government can avoid suspending their investigation.
02:56The police officer who carried out the anti-drug war can also suspend the investigation.
03:02So the ball is in the court of the Marcos administration. You're being mocked by the former president.
03:09He himself said that the DOJ has been doing this for a long time and there are no cases yet.
03:15It's like he's daring the DOJ.
03:21So I think the DOJ should take on the dare and investigate and file the proper cases.
03:29This is the first news in five sentences for GMA Integrated News.
