ICC appeals chamber tumatanggi sa apela ni Duterte sa hurisdiksyon

Larawang ginawa ng AI

Nagdesisyon ang appeals chamber ng International Criminal Court noong April 22, 2026, na tanggihan ang lahat ng apat na basehan ng apela ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte kaugnay ng hurisdiksyon, dahil sa pag-withdraw ng Pilipinas sa Rome Statute noong 2019. Ito ay naglalapit sa desisyon ng pre-trial chamber kung magpapatuloy ba ang kaso sa trial, na inaasahan sa April 28. Nagpahayag ng determinasyon ang mga kritiko at tagasuporta ni Duterte sa The Hague na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang mga kampanya.

Sa The Hague, Netherlands, nagdesisyon ang appeals chamber ng ICC na itigil ang apela ni Duterte sa pamamagitan ng majority vote. Ayon kay Presiding Judge Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, ang mga basehan ng apela—kabilang ang interpretasyon ng Articles 12(2) at 127(2) ng Rome Statute—ay walang saysay. Kasama sa panel sina Judges Tomoko Akane, Solomy Balungi Bossa, Gocha Lordkipanidze, at Erdenebalsuren Damdin. Ang desisyon na ito ay nagpapatunay ng hurisdiksyon ng ICC sa mga alegadong krimen laban sa sangkatauhan bago ang pag-withdraw ng Pilipinas.

Inilarawan ng Philstar ang apat na basehan: unang, ang pagiging 'lex specialis' ng Article 127(2); pangalawa, hindi raw 'matter under consideration' ang preliminary examination; pangatlo, limitasyon ng 'the court' sa Office of the Prosecutor; at pang-apat, layunin ng Rome Statute. Tanggihan lahat ng ito ng chamber, na may isang dissenting vote mula kay Lordkipanidze sa pangalawa.

Sa labas ng ICC, nagtipon ang Duterte Panagutin Network Europe at nagpahayag ng pag-asa si Icai Enriquez na magpapatuloy ang hustisya. Sinabi ni Aldo Gonzalez sa Filipino, “Under the Duterte administration, killings without due process... were normalized.” Samantala, nagprotesta ang mga tagasuporta, ngunit nagdesisyon si Janet Suliman, “Laban pa rin. Ipagpatuloy pa rin natin.”

Ayon kay Nicholas Kaufman, chief legal counsel ni Duterte, hindi siya nagulat sa desisyon dahil sa 'political context' ng ICC. “We maintain everything that we argued... will lead ultimately to his acquittal,” ani Kaufman. Handang maghanda ang defense team para sa posibleng trial, bagamat hindi kinikilala ni Duterte ang hurisdiksyon ng ICC.
