Rodrigo Duterte, former Philippine president, has landed in the Netherlands to face crimes against humanity charges regarding his administration’s anti-drug operations, which have resulted in thousands of deaths. He was arrested under an ICC warrant, following an investigation into the deadly crackdown during his presidency from 2016 to 2022.

Rodrigo Duterte, the former President of the Philippines, has arrived in the Netherlands to address charges related to his controversial anti-drug campaign. His flight landed at Rotterdam Airport shortly before 4 PM UK time. Mr. Duterte, age 79, was apprehended under a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on allegations of crimes against humanity.
