In a palace briefing on Thursday, DOJ spokesman Asec. Mico Calavano said that public officials and employees who will “cooperate” with the ICC probe may face administrative charges for breaching Republic Act No. 6713, also known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

MANILA, Philippines — Government and law enforcement officials who will cooperate with the investigation of the International Criminal Court concerning the war on drugs during the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte will be held accountable, the Department of Justice said.

“This is a government policy, so when a government officer or official is coordinating with the ICC against the direction or the order and the policy of the government, there may be accountability involved,” Clavano said in a briefing with the members of the press. On April 15, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reiterated that the ICC had no jurisdiction to investigate the previous administration’s drug war.
