Reading Time: 3 minutesFormer Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has been charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC). ICC deputy prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang said Duterte was an “indirect co-perpetrator” in the killings, which the court alleges were carried out by others, including police. Mr Duterte said he cracked down on drug dealers to rid the country of street crimes. His lawyer has said Mr Duterte is not able to stand trial due to poor health. Mr Duterte’s supporters alleged the ICC was being used as a political tool by the country’s current president Ferdinand Marcos, who had publicly fallen out with the powerful Duterte family.
