MANILA – Rights organizations welcomed the Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court’s authorization to commence with the investigation on drug-related killings in the Philippines during the period of Nov. 1, 2011 and March 16, 2019.
The update was posted on Wednesday, Sept. 15 in the ICC website.
Llore Pasco Benedicto of Rise Up for Life and for Rights said this is definitely good news for mothers, who, like her, lost their sons in the Duterte administration’s campaign against illegal drugs.
