In this episode of Al Jazeera English's The Take, HRW's Philippines research Carlos Conde discusses with host Kevin Hirten the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court - ICC and why this is important for victims of human rights not just in the Philippines but around the world, especially in the Global South.

They also delve into the rise of Duterte in Davao City and his tough anti-crime campaign there and how it became the template for the "drug war" that subsequently killed thousands across the Philippines, and the political rift between the Dutertes and the Marcoses -- a rift that only PARTLY made the ICC arrest possible because, as Conde emphasizes, without the long and painstaking fight for justice by victims and grassroots human rights organizations in the country, THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

The heartbreaking story of Nanay Clarita Alia.

She’s happy that the mastermind in the killing of her four sons is now behind bars in The Hague. But when I spoke to her late last year, she was inconsolable over the fact that the case of her sons are not included in the ICC investigation. I explained to her that their deaths in rhe hands of Duterte’s death squad, which took place between 2001 and 2007, were not included because the Philippines was not yet a party to the Rome Statute at the time. That did little to ease her anguish.

Kailangan natin ilagay sa pokus ang mga biktima ng "drug war" at Davao Death Squad, hindi ang bangayan sa politika ng mga Duterte at mga Marcoses, hindi ang paggamit sa paglilitis sa ICC para sa politika.
