What's the relevance of the International Criminal Court to Filipinos?

Replying to this question by Supreme Court Associate Justice Benjamin Caguioa duringon Tuesday, September 4, on the withdrawal of the Philippines from the International Criminal Court , counsel for senator-petitioners Barry Gutierrez said it provides a “safety mechanism” for Filipinos who want to seek redress of their grievances.

added that withdrawal from the ICC will mean loss of any international recourse when there is “inaction on the part of our courts.” Membership in the ICC will allow ordinary Filipinos seeking redress against the abuses of a dictator to go to it.to the United Nations last March, 17, 2018. Withdrawal officially becomes effective after one year, or in March 2019.This is the “personal injury” that petitioners and ordinary Filipinos alike will suffer, Caguioa pointed out during his interpellation.

It would be better to strengthen domestic institutions, Leonen pointed out during his interpellation, so that citizens can get “immediate recourse” from the courts, rather than tell them that our courts are “useless and therefore you will always have to rely on an international body so that there is no impunity.”
