Antonio Trillanes IV anticipates that a warrant for the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte and others linked to the International Criminal Court investigation will likely be handed in by the international tribunal by June.
“Ang ICC naman may cooperation agreement kay Interpol kaya pwede silang magpasa ng red notice diyan,” he added.According to Trillanes, the said warrants of the ICC are expected to be issued in “batches” wherein the first batch is for former President Duterte, and the following batches will be for the other officials being investigated by the international tribunal, which include now-senator and former Philippine National Police chief Ronald Dela Rosa.
However, local and international human rights organizations estimate the actual number of victims to be between 12,000 to 30,000. “The Interpol cannot intervene without coordinating with the PNP. So if the Philippine government will not cooperate, the ICC warrants of arrest cannot be implemented in Philippine territory,” Guevarra said in a Viber message toDOJ, on the other hand, has yet to respond to Philstar.com's request for comment on the former senator’s pronouncements.
