00:00Good morning to former President Rodrigo Duterte. We are live here in the studio with Atty. Cristina Conte, ICC Assistant to Council. Good morning again, Atty.
00:11Good morning.
00:12We have a lot of questions. What will happen next? At this time, former President Rodrigo Duterte is traveling to The Hague, Netherlands. When he arrives there, where will he go? Will he be imprisoned? Under custody? Is the ICC facilitated for such arrests of individuals?
00:36In the scenario I mentioned, under custody. He will be held by the police. As far as I understand, the Philippine Police will escort him with Interpol.
00:48When he is transferred to The Hague, he will be transferred to the local authority of The Hague. Rather, the Netherlands. Because this is the country of members of the ICC.
01:01What should have been done in the Philippines, but because we are not a member state, he will be brought to a court of local competent jurisdiction.
01:14To The Hague.
01:15To The Netherlands.
01:16To The Netherlands.
01:17Because you will be confronted and you will be confirmed first if you were arrested correctly.
01:22Is that you, President Rodrigo Duterte?
01:24Second, did something bad happen to you? Did you violate your rights?
01:30Third, how were you arrested? Was it like this? Was it right?
01:34The process of his arrest was according to the process where he was arrested.
01:40That's why I said, wow, it's good that he tasted the right process of how to be arrested.
01:46Because in the Philippines, hello, excuse me, hi, I'm the police.
01:50We're just inviting you.
01:52No.
01:53Are you like this?
01:54Yes.
01:55Yes, you were arrested in a court like this.
01:58Miranda Rights, you have the right to remain silent because whatever you say can be used against you.
02:04Why?
02:05You have the right to get a lawyer.
02:08And as I said, the Anti-Torture Act, there's an addition to that.
02:12Did something hurt you? Did something happen to you?
02:14Because you also have the right to get a lawyer.
02:18Now, you can also get a doctor of your choice.
02:21So after reading that, we'll arrest you in the court, Crimes Against Humanity, and we'll bring you to the gallows.
02:29That's why they say that no one showed their papers.
02:33In the Philippines, it's not really required.
02:38In fact, when you arrive at the detention center, you'll see the charge sheet there.
02:42So you'll be arrested first before the warrant of arrest is shown?
02:46If the warrant of arrest is held, it's best to show it.
02:48But of course, things happen quickly.
02:52They can show you a soft copy.
02:54They can show you a hard copy of Xerox.
02:57The warrant of arrest or charges, let's go back to the gallows or the dinner lands.
03:02It's already there.
03:03It will be turned over to the court.
03:08To the court.
03:09To the court.
03:10When it's done and there's a certification, it's okay.
03:13It will be endorsed by the ICC, the International Criminal Court.
03:18And the physical custody will be transferred to the detention facility.
03:22There's an ICC detention facility?
03:24There is.
03:25It's shared by the UN and another tribunal.
03:28And here at the detention facility, when you arrive, you'll be given a paper.
03:32Sir, number one, these are the charges against you that you can prepare.
03:37Yes.
03:38Number two, this is the status of our facility.
03:41When can you go out?
03:43When can you call?
03:44Okay.
03:45When can your companions go out?
03:47What are the medical resources that you can access?
03:52And number three, a list of lawyers.
03:55We said you can get a lawyer.
03:58In the ICC, you need to be registered with the court if you're going to face charges.
04:02But you can get a lawyer for the abuse.
04:07But if you're going to face charges in the ICC, you need an accredited lawyer.
04:14And his companion is Harry Roque.
04:16Okay.
04:17But in the ICC, at least we're sure that his case will be saved because you're complete.
04:25But on the day of the trial, the crime against humanity, the case that President Duterte is facing,
04:32please explain this case of crimes against humanity.
04:37What are the basis of this?
04:40Is this because of the victims of EJK or the two who went there?
04:46The first one and Senator Trillanes.
04:49Next, in August 2018, the first victim was Marab.
04:57We submitted a complaint and communication to the ICC.
05:01In our communication, we said that this is a crime against humanity.
05:06This is not just a simple murder or homicide.
05:09Widespread and systematic attacks on a civilian population.
05:14And of course, the acts of murder were included.
05:20So, they won't look at the murder as just one.
05:23How did you die? When did you die? Who died?
05:27What they will look at is, who are the murderers?
05:31Where? Is it widespread? Nationwide? Is it the same modus operandi?
05:36Our theory is yes.
05:38And you can base that on who gave the order.
05:42It's not just simple. Who pulled the trigger?
05:45Who is the mastermind?
05:47In crimes against humanity, the one who will face this is the most responsible.
05:52Okay.
05:53Last night, the Duterte family got together at the former President's hospital
05:57because he was sick.
05:59His blood sugar increased to 328.
06:01Shouldn't these kinds of meetings be given?
06:05That depends on the circumstances.
06:08It's easy to say, I have high blood sugar.
06:11But can you walk?
06:13And the government has a doctor there.
06:15Are you fit to walk, to stand trial?
06:19If you're not fit, it's just delaying.
06:23So the doctor can call him and ask him to look at you.
06:28But as soon as he says, it's okay, you can walk,
06:32because I haven't seen anyone with low blood or high blood or high sugar,
06:40who is fit to walk.
06:42So he was allowed to walk.
06:44Yes, because it's fit to travel.
06:46Let's go to the brain.
06:48In your opinion, in the ICC, is the trial fast?
06:52Unlike here, where it takes a year.
06:55Is it fast there?
06:57Not really.
06:59Their average trial takes 8 years.
07:038 years?
07:04Yes, but they're the fastest, too.
07:07Of course, it's a learning curve.
07:08But while he's listening, won't he be able to return to the Philippines?
07:12It depends on whether he'll apply for an interim release.
07:16It's like a bail for us.
07:18But it's a little different because we don't have a formula.
07:21Then you'll pay 80,000.
07:24But in Crimes Against Humanity, it's not equal to 1.2 million.
07:28It's not like that.
07:30He'll listen to your request according to the circumstances.
07:33He can say, I'm sick.
07:36I should be in the hospital.
07:38I should be at home.
07:39I should be somewhere else.
07:41And the prison is different.
07:43Why?
07:44It's nice.
07:45It's nice?
07:46It's so far away.
07:49It's nice.
07:50It's bright.
07:51It's air-conditioned.
07:52The food is monitored.
07:55Is our food okay?
07:56It should be healthy.
07:58If you have dietary restrictions, you should know that.
08:00He's diabetic.
08:02He's diabetic.
08:03All of that.
08:04This court, as he said, has international standards of due process.
08:09Across its member states, what are your standards?
08:13He gets the best of the best.
08:15And that's what he implements.
08:18His lawyer, his partner, can give the ICC to a lawyer?
08:22He can get any lawyer because he's a counsel of choice.
08:26But if he's going to face the court, that's like an arraignment.
08:30There's an initial hearing and confirmation of charges equivalent to an arraignment.
08:37When he goes there, he should be represented by a lawyer who is accredited or registered in the ICC.
08:44Is that so?
08:45So if it's Sal Panelo, maybe not.
08:48If it's Secretary Medealdea, maybe not.
08:51Harry Roque.
08:52Is Harry Roque one?
08:54He's accredited.
08:55There are only five counsels accredited for the court.
08:58But, sorry, he's Filipino.
09:00He's Filipino.
09:01Because he always says, I want a Filipino partner.
09:03But he can choose from 1,000 other nationalities.
09:06So he can allow hospital arrest if he requests?
09:09He can.
09:11But Harry Roque also has a case against us.
09:14He said...
09:16In the house.
09:17Yes.
09:18He said the Congress will be closed.
09:20So he's done.
09:23Thank you very much, Atty. Cristina Conti, ICC assistant in the case of Crime Against Humanity.
09:31This is President Duterte.
09:34Igan, you are the first in the news.
