SolGen wants drug war findings of ICC

The International Criminal Court (ICC) should support the Philippines in its investigation into the drug-related killings under former president Rodrigo Duterte by sharing its findings with the Philippine government, according to Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra.

He said that while the government is not hindering the ICC from conducting its investigation, the tribunal should not expect the Philippines to help as the government is conducting its own probe.

Guevarra said the Philippines has not responded to the ICC's request for aid in its investigation since the country is no longer obliged to help the tribunal, it being no longer a member.

“If you want to help, you should be the one to support the investigation being conducted by the Philippine government, we are not the ones who should help you,” he said in an interview over PTV 4 yesterday.

“Let’s reverse it. Whatever evidence or findings you have, give it to the Philippine government so we will be the ones to prosecute those who need to be prosecuted. Not the other way around,” he added.
