La CPI transmite la decisión de instrucción contra Duterte a la presidencia

La Secretaría de la CPI ha transmitido formalmente a la presidencia de la Corte Penal Internacional la decisión de la sala de instrucción que confirma los cargos contra el expresidente Rodrigo Duterte. Los cargos están relacionados con crímenes de lesa humanidad vinculados a la campaña antidrogas de su administración y al escuadrón de la muerte de Davao. Se espera que la presidencia constituya pronto una sala de primera instancia para el caso.

La Secretaría de la CPI, responsable de los aspectos no judiciales de la administración del tribunal, transmitió formalmente la decisión de la Sala de Cuestiones Preliminares I que confirma todos los cargos contra Duterte. El fallo, emitido el 23 de abril, encontró motivos suficientes para creer que Duterte tiene responsabilidad penal por crímenes de lesa humanidad vinculados a la mortífera campaña antidrogas de su administración y a los asesinatos cometidos por el llamado escuadrón de la muerte de Davao.

La transmisión incluyó índices de todos los expedientes, transcripciones de audiencias y materiales probatorios, clasificados como 'secretos' o 'confidenciales'. La presidencia de la CPI, integrada por un presidente y dos vicepresidentes elegidos entre los jueces de la CPI, asignará el caso a una sala de primera instancia.

No existe un cronograma específico para el inicio del juicio propiamente dicho, pero la CPI declaró que la sala de primera instancia —compuesta por un nuevo grupo de jueces— 'será constituida pronto'. La defensa de Duterte planea impugnar la decisión de la sala de instrucción, aunque hasta la tarde del lunes, hora de Manila, no se había presentado ninguna documentación pública.
