THE HAGUE, Netherlands: Deputy Prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang (pic) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) described the strategy adopted by the defence of Rodrigo Duterte—highlighting continued extrajudicial killings after he stepped down from Malacañang—as “nearly close to an admission” of the crime.
Such a defence strategy is called tu quoque—Latin for “you too”—which intends to divert responsibility for the crime from the accused to another person or party while also acknowledging it, Niang noted.
