The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will deliver its judgment on July 18 on whether the Court can resume investigations into former president and Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs and alleged death squad.
“On Tuesday, 18 July 2023, at 10:00 (The Hague local time), the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will deliver, in open Court, its judgment on the appeal of the Philippines Government against ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I’s authorisation to resume the investigation of the Prosecutor,” the ICC said in a media advisory Wednesday, July 12.
It is a date earlier than expected. Rappler’s sources initially indicated the appeals decision will be handed down sometime September.
