"While rejoining ICC might not have been in the cards for Marcos, I am more worried or concerned about possible refusal to cooperate with an ICC investigation," she said. She pointed out that the ICC probe would cover the bigger picture of these deaths including the pattern of the incidents, faults in policies, and the mastermind or most responsible for these ‘widespread’ and ‘systematic’ killings.

Despite the Philippine government's refusal to join ICC again, the families of the drug war victims maintained a "glimmer of hope" for justice, she added.Asked for reaction on Conti's remark, Malacañang said not rejoining the ICC is an issue of sovereignty, adding that killings linked to the drug war are being probed by the government.
