Sa 23 Setyembre, haharap si dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa International Criminal Court (ICC) sa The Hague. Ang pagdinig na ito ay tinatawag na confirmation of charges hearing. Dito titingnan ng mga hukom kung sapat at mabigat ang ebidensyang hawak ng piskal para ituloy ang kaso sa pormal na paglilitis.
Nakakulong si Duterte sa ICC mula pa noong Marso 2025. Noong 14 Marso, humarap na siya sa korte para sa pre-trial kung saan sinuri ng ICC kung may hurisdiksiyon ito sa kaso laban sa kanya at nakumpirma nilang meron nga.
Basahin ang primer ng Duterte Panagutin Network – Belgium para mas maunawaan ang mga detalye ng kaso ni Duterte lalo na sa tinaguriang War on Drugs kung saan tinatayang mahigit 30,000 ang pinaslang.
Mula 21 hanggang 23 Setyembre, magkakaroon ng linggong kilos-protesta sa The Hague. I-message ninyo kami kung nais ninyong makilahok.
Nagsisimula pa lang tayong makuha ang katotohanan, pananagutan at hustisya para sa mga biktima ng walang habas at walang awang pagpaslang sa mga Pilipino sa panahon ni Duterte. Hindi tayo titigil hangga’t hindi siya nananagot kasama ng kanyang mga alipores, kasabwat at mga enabler. Ang kanyang mga tauhan at ang mga pumiga ng gatilyo. Tayo ang bayan ang mapagpasyang lumaban para makulong si Duterte.
Makialam at makielam! Sumama sa mga kilos protesta at diskosyun tungkol!

On 23 September, former president Rodrigo Duterte will face the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. This session is called a confirmation of charges hearing. Here, the judges will weigh if the prosecutor has enough evidence and grounds to push the case forward to a full trial.
Duterte has been detained at the ICC since March 2025. On 14 March, he already appeared before the court for the pre-trial, where the ICC first determined if it had jurisdiction over his case and the court confirmed that it does.
Read the Duterte Panagutin Network – Belgium primer to learn more about the facts of Duterte’s case, especially regarding the so-called War on Drugs, where an estimated 30,000 people were killed.

We are only beginning to uncover the truth, accountability and justice for the victims of the mass and merciless killings of Filipinos under Duterte’s rule. We will not stop until he is held to account together with his cronies, his enablers, his henchmen and every trigger pulled in his name. It is us, the people, who will decide to fight and make sure Duterte ends up behind bars.
