HINDI kikilalanin ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang warrant of arrest ng International Criminal Court laban kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Nahaharap sa kasong crimes against humanity si Duterte sa ICC dahil naging madugo ang anti-drug war campaign.

“We don’t recognize the warrant, the warrant that they will send to us,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos sa FOCAP forum.

“That’s a no,” nang tanungin kung kikilalanin ang warrant of arrest.

Katwiran ni Pangulong Marcos, walang hurisdiksyon ang ICC sa Pilipinas dahil matagal nang kumalas ang bansa.

Gumagana rin naman aniya ang hudikatura sa Pilipinas.

“What is the rule about the ICC? When do they adopt jurisdiction? They have jurisdiction in a country when no judicial system is working, is functioning, no police force is functioning. In other words, there probably is war and none of these issues about war crimes and all of these are being attended to simply because the administration, especially in the judiciary, especially in law enforcement, are not functioning,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

“That is the reason why we are saying we are well within the rules. It is their rule. It is the rule of ICC that they come in when there is no judiciary, they come in when there is police force. We have a judiciary,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.
