The International Criminal Court’s confirmation of all crimes against humanity charges against former President Duterte is a historic moment for victims and international justice.
It sends a clear message that those who are alleged to have committed widespread and systematic murder as a crime against humanity will one day find themselves in the dock, facing trial.
Families of victims and survivors of the ‘war on drugs’ in the Philippines have waited far too long for justice. Justice may be slow in coming, but it cannot be delayed forever.
