The ICC decides on Philippine extrajudicial killings
The ICC retains jurisdiction over crimes committed prior to withdrawal/Agencies.
The International Criminal Court will announce its decision after the Philippines government appealed to stop the probe against its drug war and related extra-judicial killings.
If the ICC allows the investigation to continue, the prosecutor will resume work, overriding objections by the Philippines.
The ICC probe covers alleged crimes committed from November 2011 to June 2016, including a large number of extrajudicial killings in Davao City while former President Rodrigo Duterte was its mayor as well as in other parts of the country during his presidency.
The Philippines withdrew from the Rome Statute in 2019.
But the ICC retains jurisdiction over crimes committed prior to withdrawal.
