'Whether the ICC can enforce it or not is a totally different question because the ICC will have to depend on local authorities to enforce that warrant of arrest,' Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra says.
The International Criminal Court may issue a warrant of arrest against former President Rodrigo Duterte once its probe on the latter's war on drugs starts, but the question on who will enforce it remains, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra said Wednesday.
"Whether the ICC can enforce it or not is a totally different question because the ICC will have to depend on local authorities to enforce that warrant of arrest," Guevarra told CNN Philippines'Sen.
The Philippine government already filed an appeal on the decision to resume the ICC pre-trial chamber's probe on alleged abuses during the Duterte administration's drug war.
