Event Summary

Two sitting Philippine senators, Ronald dela Rosa and Bong Go, have been identified as 'co-perpetrators' in former president Rodrigo Duterte's crimes against humanity trial at the International Criminal Court. The ICC prosecutors have charged Rodrigo Duterte with three counts of crimes against humanity, alleging his involvement in at least 76 murders as part of his 'war on drugs' between 2011 and 2019. The prosecution document states that Rodrigo Duterte and his co-perpetrators shared a common plan to 'neutralize' alleged criminals through violent crimes. Ronald dela Rosa was the former national police chief and enforcer of the drug war, while Bong Go was a key aide to Rodrigo Duterte. Former justice secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II and several former police chiefs were also named. Rodrigo Duterte is facing a 'confirmation of charges' hearing to determine if the allegations are strong enough for trial. Bong Go has denied the allegations.
