MANILA, Philippines – International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan has asked the ICC’s appeals chamber to deny the Philippine government’s request to suspend the probe into drug war killings under the administration of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
In his five-page response, Khan argued that granting the petition is not needed because the Philippine government has yet to substantiate its argument on why the probe should be suspended.
