00:31Connie, the lead counsel, Nicholas Kaufman,

00:39should be formed as soon as possible
00:42He has not yet detailed the petitions

00:48But one thing is clear for now,
00:50he will need a Filipino lawyer
00:52How will the case of Crimes Against Humanity be fought and won
01:00in the International Criminal Court
01:02was discussed by the former President Rodrigo Duterte
01:05and his lead counsel,
01:07Attorney Nicholas Kaufman
01:09in the second visit of the lawyer to the former President
01:12in the Skivingen Prison here in The Hague, Netherlands
01:15Even if all foreign defense teams
01:18under the defense of the former President in the ICC
01:20it is possible for a Filipino lawyer to add the legal team
01:24according to Kaufman
01:25There is an essential element of any case
01:28of the International Criminal Court
01:29that there is a need for foreign lawyers
01:32So there will definitely be involvement of Filipino lawyers
01:35I need them
01:36Kaufman has not yet answered
01:38if there is a possibility that the former Executive Secretary
01:41Salvador Medialdea
01:42or the former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque
01:45will be included in the defense team of the former President
01:47The announcement will be made in due course
01:50It was 2 p.m. yesterday, March 19
01:52here in The Hague
01:53when Kaufman's second visit took place
01:56He did this every day
01:58for the defense team to be completed as soon as possible
02:01and for their legal steps to be laid out
02:04He emphasized the former President
02:06about the nature of the case of Crimes Against Humanity
02:09He did not mention the details of their petitions
02:12However, Kaufman said
02:14that one of the foundations
02:16was the method of arresting the former President
02:34The former President also sent a message to the Filipinos
02:39All I want to say at the present moment in time
02:41is that he sends all his well-wishers and supporters the very best
03:08According to the website of the ICC,
03:10for all the witnesses, it depends on the prosecution
03:13The ICC will file a case on the visa of the witnesses
03:16if they need to come here in The Hague
03:19While they are here, they will receive an allowance
03:22and they will exchange any income or income
03:24that they will lose while witnessing the case
03:31Connie, for now, there are 5 Filipinos
03:34who are included in the list of counsels
03:37of the International Criminal Court
03:39They include Attorney Joel Butuyan
03:41and Attorney Gilbert Andres
03:43who were found to be the victims of extrajudicial killings
03:48Attorney Harry Roque, who was the first member
03:51of the list of counsels of the ICC
03:54is no longer included in the defense team
03:56of the former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:58according to Vice President Sara Duterte
04:00so that he can focus on his application for asylum here in the Netherlands
04:05So, there are only 2 names left
04:07but aside from that, other lawyers can get him
04:11and just give him credit in the ICC according to Attorney Kaufman
04:15So, that is what we will observe
04:17So, that is the latest situation here in The Hague, Netherlands
04:21Back to you, Connie
