Duterte's legal team appeals ICC murder charges
杜特蒂的法律團隊針對國際刑事法院的謀殺指控提出上訴
In a significant development for international law, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed three counts of crimes against humanity against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
在國際法的重大發展中，國際刑事法院(ICC)已確認前菲律賓總統羅德里哥·杜特爾(Rodrigo Duterte)涉及三項反人類罪。
As of April 23, 2026, the Pre-Trial Chamber has formally moved the case to trial, citing substantial evidence of a systematic campaign against civilians during his administration's 'war on drugs.'
截至2026年4月23日，審前分庭已正式將此案移交審判，並提出了充分證據，證實其政府在「反毒戰爭」中針對平民進行了系統性的打壓。
This decision follows the rejection of a jurisdictional appeal by Duterte's legal team, which argued the ICC lacked authority due to the Philippines' 2019 withdrawal from the Rome Statute.
此項決定源於杜特爾法律團隊的管轄權上訴被駁回，該團隊原先主張菲律賓已於2019年退出《羅馬規約》(Rome Statute)，因此ICC無權管轄。
Duterte, who has been in custody in The Hague since his March 2025 arrest, faces allegations concerning operations in Davao City and nationwide clearance efforts.
杜特爾自2025年3月遭逮捕後便一直被拘留在海牙(The Hague)，他面臨有關達沃市(Davao City)以及全國性清除行動的指控。
His defense team, led by Nicholas Kaufman, continues to dispute the charges, labeling the prosecution's evidence as unreliable and the concept of a state-sanctioned policy a 'fiction.'
其辯護團隊由尼古拉斯·考夫曼(Nicholas Kaufman)領軍，仍持續否認指控，並稱檢方的證據不可信，且將所謂「國家認可的政策」斥為「虛構」。
