00:00The Justice Department admitted that this is the first time in the Philippines that the International Criminal Court, or ICC, has investigated Duterte Draguar.

00:12DOJ and ICC are in talks. Salima Refran was there.

00:21I'm asking the ICC to hurry up. Come here and start the investigation tomorrow.

00:28If that's what the PRRD wants, we won't stop the ICC. We won't help them.

00:37Just two months after the following statement by former President Rodrigo Duterte and President Bongbong Marcos,

00:45Justice Secretary Boyeng Rimulya admitted that there are foreign entities in the country that are under the International Criminal Court, or ICC.

00:53He said to Reuters, an international news agency, that he knows this because of the human rights community that the ICC is in talks with.

01:02He also said that it is possible that they will talk with the ICC and there are people who are in the process of doing so.

01:09There are particular points where cooperation is possible, but it needs to be clarified that it is not yet in Italy.

01:18According to Rimulya, cooperation is possible in the International Tribunal under the law.

01:23When the palace was built, the opinion of the Philippines did not change,

01:28that the Rome Statute, or the treaty that is being formed in the ICC, was violated in 2018.

01:34The position is that we are no longer in the jurisdiction of the ICC.

01:38But that does not necessarily mean, because of what I just said,

01:41that does not necessarily mean that the order of the ICC enforced through the Interpol is to be ignored.

01:51Interpol makes the request to us for the arrest or delivery of the custody of a person subject to ICC jurisdiction.

02:00We will respond favorably or positively.

02:05Even though the ICC is not a part of the ICC, Interpol is still a member of the Philippines.

02:10We used to help them.

02:12It cannot be said that since the ICC requested you to come to us, we will not ignore you.

02:22If we are the ones who will request to Interpol, we will also not ignore you.

02:27Amidst the victims of the drug war that broke out in the ICC,

02:30the Rome Statute mandated the cooperation even though the Philippines withdrew.

02:37The writing of Article 127 of the Rome Statute, where we were previously signed,

02:42says that when you exit, it means that you forgot that you still have something to do.

02:50According to the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, Attorney Salvador Panelo,

02:55those who oppose the ICC should resign

02:58because President Marcos said that it cannot cooperate with the ICC in any way.

03:03However, the President also said last year that it is possible to cooperate with Interpol.

03:10As Secretary Remula explained before, we have obligations to Interpol.

03:17And we have to live up to those obligations.

03:21As of now, the ICC Prosecutor is still investigating the crimes against humanity committed by former President Duterte

03:29from November 1, 2011 until March 16, 2019,

03:33or one day before the Philippines effectively withdrew from the Rome Statute.

03:38This includes the drug war of Duterte in Davao when he was still the mayor of Davao.

03:44For SGMA Integrated News, I'm Marifran for 24 Hours.
