La CPI deniega la solicitud de Duterte de apelar la confirmación de cargos

La Sala de Cuestiones Preliminares I de la Corte Penal Internacional rechazó el intento del expresidente filipino Rodrigo Duterte de apelar la confirmación de los cargos en su contra en una decisión tomada el 21 de mayo. El fallo evita nuevos retrasos en su juicio, que podría comenzar tan pronto como en noviembre.

La Sala de Cuestiones Preliminares I de la Corte Penal Internacional emitió su decisión el 21 de mayo denegando la solicitud de Duterte de autorización para apelar la confirmación de cargos de abril. La Sala determinó que los dos asuntos planteados por sus abogados no calificaban como cuestiones apelables bajo las normas del tribunal.

La defensa de Duterte había argumentado que la Sala utilizó un enfoque excesivamente amplio al definir los cargos y que no proporcionó una base probatoria clara para sus conclusiones. El tribunal respondió que solo había hecho referencia a la evidencia necesaria para explicar su razonamiento y que el primer asunto no cumplía con los criterios para una apelación.

Duterte permanece detenido en La Haya desde su arresto en marzo de 2025. Enfrenta tres cargos de crímenes de lesa humanidad vinculados a presuntos asesinatos durante su etapa como alcalde de Davao y su guerra contra las drogas a nivel nacional. El cronograma de su juicio avanza ahora sin esta capa adicional de revisión.
