President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s stand against cooperating in the probe by the International Criminal Court on illegal drug operations “remains unchanged,” Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra said.
“The ICC prosecutor is free to pursue his investigation any way he wants, but he cannot expect any cooperation from the Philippine government,” Guevarra said. Guevarra recalled that “the ICC Appeals Chamber failed to rule categorically on our jurisdictional challenge.” Last July 18, the ICC Appeals Chamber issued a ruling that denied the Philippines’ appeal that opposed the order to have the ICC prosecutor resume its investigation of the drugs war.
