00:00At nauday pa rin sa kasong Crimes Against Humanity ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa International Criminal Court.
00:06Mga kaparayan po natin, Atty. Gilbert Andres, ICC-accredited counsel at isa sa Common Legal Representatives for Victims.
00:13Atty. Good morning, sir. Thank you for joining us.
00:16Magandang umaga, Ivan, at magandang umaga din sa mga viewers ng Unang Ihirit.
00:21Atty. Para sa mga sumusubaybay sa kaso ng dating Pangulo,
00:24ano ba yung pinakamahalagang takeaway ka nga sa desisyon ng Appeals Chamber tungkol sa jurisdiction challenge nito?
00:30Hindi na ito bago ilang beses sa chinalensyon jurisdiction ng Korte, ano?
00:34Ito na ba yung huli? Huling hirit na ba ito, Atty?
00:38Huling hirit na ito, Ivan, at yung pinaka-importante na takeaway,
00:42hindi lang po basta-basta makakalabas ng room statute ang isang estado kung ayaw po nitong mga investigasyon ng ICC.
00:51Kaya mahalaga pa rin po na pinairal ng Appeals Chamber yung object and purpose ng room statute.
00:58Ano po ba yung object and purpose ng room statute?
01:00It's to end impunity laban sa mga perpetrators ng international crimes
01:05at to prevent international crimes such as crimes against humanity.
01:11So, ibig sabihin po niyan, tulad ng nabagit ng judge,
01:15yung interim release, wala na? Wala na rin tayong pinag-uusapan ganyan?
01:18Now, yung interim release, separate po siyang issue, Ivan.
01:23Pero sa ngayon, dahil nga na-confirm at na-affirm yung jurisdiction,
01:30humingi kasi yung defense na kung ma-reverse yung pretrial chamber,
01:35i-release si Mr. Duterte.
01:36Ngunit, dahil na-affirm nga ang jurisdiction sa prosecutor versus Rodrigo Rojoa Duterte,
01:43eh multi-academic na rin yung prayer na i-release po siya.
01:46Oo. Itong desisyong ito ng ICC Appeals Chamber Attorney,
01:51anong epekto naman ito sa usad ng kaso na dating Pangulo?
01:54Malaking epekto nito, Ivan. Ano kasi ibig sabihin,
01:58dahil kin-confirm nga yung jurisdiction over prosecutor versus Duterte,
02:02eh una, matutuloy po yung decision ng pretrial chamber next week po.
02:11Ikalawa po, patuloy po yung investigation ng Office of the Prosecutor
02:16dun po sa mga eight na named co-perpetrators.
02:20At ikatatlo po, kung ma-confirma ng pretrial chamber na dapat po ito ituloy sa trial paper,
02:27eh tuloy-tuloy na rin po yan sa trial paper.
02:30In a few days, attorney, inaasahan natin, lalabas sa iyo pa siya, no,
02:34ng pretrial chamber 1, kung mako-confirm yung charges at uusan tayo sa panglilitis.
02:40Ano ang expectations natin dito, attorney?
02:43Well, malaki po yung pag-asa ng mga biktima na ma-confirm yung mga charges.
02:48Dahil ako yun namang in-argue, ah, nung closing statements na hindi naman tinin,
02:53natinag, ano, ng defense yung na-present ng mga ebidensya ng prosecution
02:58at yung mga argumento ng prosecution.
03:00At tayo namin po yung argumento namin ng mga common legal representative for victims.
03:06Kaya, malaki pong pag-asa namin na hopefully mako-confirm.
03:11Ngunit, nasa sa pretrial chamber rin po yan.
03:15Pero ang paghahanda po natin is with the assumption na ito po talagang magtutuloy-tuloy sa trial.
03:23Kumusta naman po yung paghahandaan ninyo, attorney?
03:26Okay naman siya, Ivan, ano, kasi palagi po namin in-orient ang mga victims kung ano po yung proseso.
03:34At sinasabi po namin na marami pa pong mga tatahaking, mga steps, ano, tumungo sa katotohanan at ustisya.
03:43Kaya ito lang po ay mga first steps at kasama po nila, kami palagi, dun sa mga steps po na
03:52kanilang tatahaking.
03:53Pero ang sabi po ni attorney Kaufman, kung sakali magtrial nga, next year pa magsisimula ito.
03:58Attorney, tama ba?
04:00Now, ganito po yung aming estimate.
04:02So, April 30 po, yung pinaka-last day ng pag-desisyo ng pretrial chamber.
04:07That's Thursday. Pwede pong mas maaga dyan.
04:10At meron pong tinatawag na preparation stage for trial.
04:15Kaano ba katagal ang preparation stage?
04:17Ang pinaka-maikli po ay six months.
04:19Ngunit, pwede po itong humaba ng hanggang 1.5 years.
04:23So, kung six months from April 30, that's October.
04:27Kung 1.5 years from September, from April 30, yan po ay October of next year.
04:36So, yun lang po, talagang minamanage din po namin yung mga expectations po ng mga tao.
04:42So, during which time, yung release, yung interim release, malabo po.
04:49So, former President Duterte would have to stay in detention habang ito po'y pinag-ahandaan itong paglilitis.
04:56Now, linawin ko lang, Ivan, naalala nyo, yung February 27, yung last day ng confirmation of charges hearing,
05:03meron ding ginawang review.
05:04Kasi required po yan under the rules na may yearly review.
05:09Now, hinihintay pa po natin yung decision na yan ng yearly review ng detention ni Mr. Duterte.
05:15At i-expect din natin, more or less, next week po yan, ang pre-trial chamber po ang mag-decide
05:22po niya.
05:23Okay.
05:23Attorney Andres, sir, thank you very much for joining us.
05:26Maraming salamat, Ivan.
05:28At mabuhay tayo.
05:28Nakausap po natin, Attorney Gilbert Andres, ICC Accredited Counsel at isa sa Common Legal Representatives for Victims.
