ICC prosecutor suspends probe into Philippines drugs war
CNN
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has suspended a probe at Manila's request into suspected rights abuses during Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's crackdown on drugs.
ICC judges approved a probe in September into the campaign in which thousands of suspected drug peddlers have died. Activists say many have been executed by law enforcement agencies with the tacit backing of the President.
Philippine authorities say the killings were in self-defense and that the ICC has no right to meddle.
