Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested upon arrival at Manila’s main airport on Tuesday after being served an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for alleged crimes against humanity linked to his controversial "war on drugs." The Philippine government confirmed his detention after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s office received an official copy of the warrant.
The ICC is investigating Duterte’s anti-drug crackdown, which resulted in thousands of deaths. While police report 6,200 fatalities in operations ending in shootouts, human rights groups argue the real toll is significantly higher, with many victims executed extrajudicially. Duterte has repeatedly defended his campaign, denying ordering unlawful killings.
On Monday, while in Hong Kong, Duterte stated he was ready for arrest if the ICC issued a warrant. However, his former legal counsel, Salvador Panelo, called the arrest unlawful, alleging police blocked Duterte’s lawyers from meeting him at the airport.
Duterte withdrew the Philippines from the ICC in 2019 when the court began investigating alleged extrajudicial killings. Until last year, the country refused to cooperate with the probe. Duterte, who built his political career on tough-on-crime policies, won the presidency in 2016 after promising to wipe out drug-related crime.
His brutal drug war sparked international condemnation, with activists and rights groups accusing authorities of systematic executions. Police deny involvement in extrajudicial killings and reject cover-up allegations.
Duterte’s arrest marks a pivotal moment in the Philippines’ long-running debate over human rights and accountability, with legal battles expected to follow.
