Fatou Bensouda says there is basis to believe ‘the crime against humanity of murder’ committed in Duterte’s drug war.
The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has sought authorisation to open a full investigation into the drug war killings in the Philippines in which thousands of people are thought to have died. The drug war is a signature policy of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, a self-styled strongman, who took office in 2016. Government data shows that as of the end of April this year, some 6,117 suspected drug dealers had been killed by the police and security forces.
