ICC to hold hearing on charges against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court will begin presenting evidence Monday to support their charges against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, detailing his alleged involvement in dozens of killings as part of his so-called war on drugs.

The ex-leader is facing three counts of crimes against humanity for deadly anti-drugs crackdowns he oversaw, first while he served as mayor of the southern Philippine city of Davao and later as president.
