00:00It's hot to talk about the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte of the International Criminal Court.
00:08But what is the ICC and what are its rules and jurisdictions?
00:15Let's listen to what Maki Pulido has to say.
00:18Some of the worst crimes ever known have been committed during the...
00:21The whole world witnessed the violence in different countries where thousands were killed, tortured or raped for no reason.
00:30In this context, many countries have agreed to form an independent court to investigate or prosecute these heinous crimes.
00:39In July 1998, 160 countries agreed to a treaty called the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
00:48that stipulates the mechanisms, procedures and crimes in the jurisdiction of the ICC.
00:54The ICC was established in July 2002.
00:57The Philippines agreed to the Rome Statute in December 2000 and ratified it by the Senate in August 2011.
01:05Before the establishment of the ICC, there was no court in the world capable of prosecuting heinous crimes.
01:16Four heinous crimes are in the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
01:20Genocide, war crime, crime of aggression, and crimes against humanity that former President Rodrigo Duterte is facing.
01:29The ICC does not prohibit the regular courts of states.
01:33It will only be included in the scene if the state does not move or if its desire to punish individuals behind heinous crimes is not true.
01:42The ICC is not actually meant to try all sorts of crimes.
01:48It's not a substitute to domestic courts.
01:52Its mandate is only to try the most heinous, the most serious crimes against humanity.
02:00The idea behind it is that usually, these criminals are led by their country.
02:06They will not be prosecuted by their country.
02:09That's why we have the International Criminal Court.
02:13In March 2019, during the administration of Duterte, the Philippines withdrew from the Rome Statute.
02:19But the International Criminal Court said that because non-human crimes were committed while the Philippines was still a member,
02:25the ICC still has jurisdiction over the case.
02:28There is a provision in the Rome Statute, Article 127,
02:32that if the withdrawal has already started, before the withdrawal becomes effective,
02:35it will not move or continue.
02:38Otherwise, it's easy to escape because you will just withdraw.
02:4432 cases have already been filed in the ICC.
02:4760 warrants of arrest have already been issued and 21 people are currently detained in the ICC Detention Center.
02:55Of the cases, 11 were convicted and 4 were acquitted.
03:00Three women with long experience in the judicature and human rights law are the judges in the pre-trial chamber 1
03:06that is currently holding Duterte's case according to the ICC website.
03:11The presiding judge is Yulia Motok from Romania,
03:14who served as judge of the European Court of Human Rights for a decade.
03:18From Benin, Africa, Judge Reyna Lapini-Ganso,
03:22who has also served as a judge in the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
03:25And Judge Socorro Flores Lira from Mexico,
03:29one of the activists in the creation of the ICC.
03:32When the case is closed, a trial chamber will be established and new judges will be appointed.
