00:00The Justice Department has already started the process
00:03for the possible investigation of the crimes against humanity
00:08against the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:11The one investigating Duterte and other possible suspects
00:15is the Binuong Task Force on Extradjudicial Killings.
00:19Salima Refrang is in charge.
00:21I have killed a lot of criminals in Davao.
00:29I am the one who committed the crime.
00:33I will admit that my order is to kill drug manufacturers
00:39and big-time drug distributors.
00:48So you really planned this?
00:50That was part of the strategy as a mayor.
00:53Following his confession to the Quad Committee of the Camera
00:57and based on other information,
00:59Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said
01:02that the Department of Justice has already started the investigation
01:06against the former President Rodrigo Duterte
01:10and other possible extradjudicial killings.
01:12I just talked to the head of the task force.
01:15Very, very good progress.
01:16The scope of the investigation is wide.
01:20From the time Duterte was the mayor of Davao
01:22to the time he became President
01:24and carried out his bloody war against illegal drugs.
01:28Of course, you're talking about several laws that come into play.
01:33And you have the revised Penal Code and other special laws.
01:38IHL, International Humanitarian Law is what we are investigating now
01:43because it is the law that the ICC is studying
01:49as well as the law that we have here.
01:52It's the law of the ICC, actually.
01:53It's what they're using right now.
01:55The violations of the R.A. 9851 or Philippine Act
01:58on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,
02:01Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity
02:04is what Duterte is fighting against.
02:06It is the body of Crimes Against Humanity
02:08that the former President is facing
02:10in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
02:13Well, we want the charges to be separate from each other.
02:19What we charge here and what the ICC charges have to be,
02:22if possible, will not overlap.
02:28Even if we're not members of the ICC,
02:30the spirit of complementarity still applies.
02:43We just cannot give you a day-to-day, blow-by-blow account,
02:48but we are evaluating everything very well.
