Philippines ex-leader Duterte makes first appearance at ICC

Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte made his first in-person appearance at International Criminal Court (ICC) on Wednesday (Sep 16) to face charges over his "war on drugs" that killed thousands. The 81-year-old first attended court in The Hague via video link and skipped several hearings as he was too ill, claimed his defence team. Duterte is the first Asian former head of state to face trial at the ICC, which prosecutes individuals for the world's worst crimes such as war crimes and crimes against humanity. #philippines Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
