Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested and is set to face charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity linked to his notorious 'war on drugs,' which allegedly resulted in the deaths of up to 30,000 individuals.

His apprehension marks a significant moment, as he becomes the first Asian leader to be charged by the ICC. The court's prosecutor, Karim Khan, emphasizes the importance of this case for international justice.

Victims' advocates, supported by brave individuals who gathered evidence against Duterte, express hope that this will lead to accountability. A pre-trial hearing will soon determine the evidence's sufficiency for a full trial, amidst ongoing challenges to police claims of self-defense and accusations of falsified evidence.

As Duterte's political legacy faces scrutiny, the new administration signals a potential shift in the approach to drug-related violence in the Philippines.
