The Philippine government has sought the reversal of the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to reopen an inquiry into the brutal anti-drugs campaign by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

The Office of the Solicitor General , in an appeals brief, reiterates that the Hague-based tribunal has no jurisdiction as the Philippine government has pulled out of the Hague-based tribunal in 2019.

The OSG, citing legal basis, said there are conditions that should be met before the investigation can take place.There also should be a referral from the United Nations Security Council and motu propio prosecutor investigation or investigation of its own accord. The Philippine government, through the OSG, is asking for the suspension of the investigation while the appeal is ongoing; to suspend the authorization of the ICC to investigate; and to determine that the Prosecution is not authorized to conduct an investigation.In January 2023, the ICC said it had authorized the reopening of an inquiry into the war on drugs.

"The various domestic initiatives and proceedings, assessed collectively, do not amount to tangible, concrete and progressive investigative steps," it added.
