00:00 The Philippines has closed any relationship with the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:08 It's only a few days after the ICC destroyed the Philippine's appeal
00:12 to stop the investigation in the war on drugs of the Duterte administration.
00:18 In the last released data of the government,
00:20 more than 6,000 people were killed in the anti-drug operations.

00:30 The Philippines will no longer have any relationship with the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:36 That's what the Deputy General Menardo Guevara confirmed
00:39 after President Bongbong Marcos spoke.
00:42 In Guevara's statement, the President agreed that the last relationship of the Philippines with the ICC is now an appeals chamber.
00:51 This is also what Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia said.
00:54 This is just an issue of complementarity and committee.
00:58 That's why we are saying this because we are talking decently.
01:03 We are talking without being known.
01:05 That doesn't mean that we will agree to their submission to us.
01:11 Guevara said that they were just waiting for the decision of the ICC in the Philippine's appeal
01:17 to stop the investigation of the bloody anti-drug war of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
01:24 In 2019, the Philippines left the Rome Statue, which was based on the establishment of the International Criminal Court.
01:31 But in 2021, the Supreme Court ordered that the country needs to assist in any criminal proceeding
01:38 that was held before the Philippines left the Rome Statue.
01:42 The authorization of the ICC pretrial chamber in the investigation of the ICC prosecutor
01:48 includes the killing and abuse from July 1, 2016 until March 16, 2019,
01:56 one day before the Philippines left the Rome Statue.
