MANILA: The International Criminal Court has rejected an appeal by former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who sought to reverse a previous decision declaring him fit to take part in pre-trial proceedings on his crime against humanity case.
The pre-trial chamber publicized its decision in an 11-page ruling issued on Friday (Feb 13), arguing that Duterte’s camp failed to raise appealable issues on the court’s January decision that rejected an indefinite adjournment of the former president’s case.
