00:00It is possible that the International Criminal Court will call some witnesses against the former President Duterte
00:07regarding the crimes against humanity that he is facing.
00:11They will be given security and will help him to go to the Netherlands if necessary.
00:16Maki Pulido is on the line.
00:20Rodrigo Roa.
00:23As an accused, the former President Rodrigo Duterte has the right to know what he is being charged with.
00:28That is why the International Criminal Court will give the prosecutor's office to the defense team
00:34the testimony of the witnesses against Duterte and other evidence.
00:39Also afford them the proper opportunity to examine the evidence,
00:44challenge the credibility of the witnesses.
00:47Despite that, he assures the protection and support of the ICC to the witnesses.
00:52In fact, they can only use alias on the witness list.
00:56The rule is that they have to ask for authorization from the court to redact the identity of the witnesses.
01:04If the witness is not guaranteed security, the ICC Registry is ready to relocate him and his family.
01:12In the process of transferring, he can only be transferred through videoconferencing.
01:17The ICC Registry will set it up
01:20that the witness can be transferred from the same location or from a separate room in the court in The Hague, Netherlands.
01:26If the court allows it, the voice can also be changed and the face of the witness can be hidden for his security.
01:33He can also have a closed session or only face trials in giving testimony.
01:38Risks of retaliation or risks of endangering their lives and their families
01:47just because they will testify or so that they will not be able to testify at all,
01:53the witnesses will be scared so that they will not appear.
01:58According to the ICC website, if they need to go to The Hague to testify,
02:03the ICC will arrange their visas.
02:06While in The Hague, the witnesses will receive an allowance.
02:10There is also an allowance to exchange for no income while witnessing in the ICC.
02:15The court will also be concerned about their mental health.
02:18I think there is no timeline in the protective measures under the rules,
02:23so it can last for some time even after the trial.
02:28Although we do have to acknowledge that the ICC does not have infinite resources.
02:35The ICC assured on their website that it is not affected by the protective measures
02:40to be fair in the transfer.
02:42The protective measures are for all witnesses, prosecution or defense.
02:47For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
