MANILA: The International Criminal Court has ordered a medical examination of former President Rodrigo Duterte to determine whether he is fit to stand trial for alleged crimes against humanity linked to killings committed while he was in power.
In a decision released Thursday (Oct 16), Pre-Trial Chamber I of the ICC appointed a three-member panel of medical experts to assess Duterte’s condition “for the purpose of undertaking a medical examination pursuant to rules 113 and 135 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence.”
