ICC: Victims, families can participate in drug war proceedings

MANILA, Philippines – The International Criminal Court has allowed families of victims to comment on the Philippine government’s appeal against the ongoing investigation into Rodrigo Duterte’s violent war on drugs.

It also said that the ICC’s Office of Public Counsel for Victims may submit written observations “in relation to the general interests of victims” by April 18, 2023. The inclusion of victims’ views came, following the request of 90 applicants “to present views and concerns in the present appeal proceedings,” as any decision whether or not to pursue an investigation “has an immediate and direct effect on their personal interests.”
