00:00Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo says former President Rodrigo Duterte's arrest by
00:05Philippine authorities will not be covered by U.S. President Donald Trump's sanctions
00:09against those helping the International Criminal Court.
00:12We have cooperated with Interpol, that's why I don't believe we fall under that U.S.
00:17executive order.
00:18Trump signed an executive order last February to sanction people who help ICC investigations.
00:24The move aims to protect U.S. ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
00:28who faces an ICC arrest order over the bombings in Gaza.
00:33Human rights lawyers are worried that Trump's executive order is worded so vaguely it could
00:37apply even to Filipinos.
00:39This is what Senators Aimee Marcos and Bato De La Rosa are proposing, with De La Rosa saying
00:44that the plane owners that flew Duterte to The Hague could have their U.S. assets frozen.
