Dela Rosa won’t allow ICC drug war probe if he wins

IF he wins the presidency, Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa will not allow the International Criminal Court (ICC) to conduct its probe over alleged human rights violations committed during President Duterte’s bloody war on drugs.

The presidential aspirant said that this stance was to protect himself as much as Duterte, who are co-accused for crimes against humanity mounted by rights victims and kin of alleged state-sponsored extra-judicial killings before the ICC.“I will not only protect President Duterte but also myself because we are both co-accused in the case there,” he said in an interview with ABS CBN News Channel when asked whether he will allow the ICC to conduct a thorough investigation.
