Nagsimula na ang confirmation of charges hearing sa International Criminal Court laban kay dating pangulo Rodrigo Duterte sa The Hague, na walang personal na presensya ng akusado. Higit 500 biktima ng drug war ang nakilahok sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga legal representatives, habang naghahanda ang Philippine National Police para sa posibleng protesta sa Pilipinas. Ang hearing na ito ay titingnan kung sapat ang ebidensya para magpatuloy sa full trial.

Ang confirmation of charges hearing laban kay Rodrigo Duterte sa International Criminal Court (ICC) ay nagsimula noong February 23, 2026, sa The Hague, Netherlands. Ito ay hindi pa isang full trial kundi isang pre-trial proceeding upang matukoy ng mga hukom kung may 'substantial grounds' na nagkakaso ng crimes against humanity si Duterte, batay sa warrant of arrest noong nakaraang taon.

Si Duterte, na 80 taong gulang, ay naaresto sa Manila noong March 2025 at inilipat sa ICC Detention Center sa Scheveningen. Bagamat pinagana ng mga medical experts na fit siyang makilahok, naaprubahan ng Pre-Trial Chamber ang kanyang request na hindi dumalo, personal o via video. Ang kanyang defense team, pinamunuan ni Nicholas Kaufman at mga Pilipinong lawyers tulad nina Salvador Medialdea, Martin Delgra III, at iba pa, ang magrerepresenta sa kanya.

Ang mga paratang ay tatlong counts ng murder at attempted murder, na sumasaklaw sa 49 insidente at 78 named victims mula sa kanyang panahon bilang mayor ng Davao City hanggang sa kanyang pagkapangulo. Ayon sa prosecution, si Duterte ay indirect co-perpetrator sa isang 'common plan' na magpatay ng mga naging target sa drug trade. Ang Deputy Prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang ang magbubukas ng prosecution's case.

Para sa unang beses sa ICC history, higit 500 victims ang nakakakuha ng participation rights sa pre-trial stage, kinakatawan ng mga lawyers Joel Butuyan, Gilbert Andres mula sa Center for International Law, at ang ICC's Office of Public Counsel for Victims. Sila ay magbibigay ng opening statement, address sa merits, at closing, upang ipresenta ang views at concerns ng victims.

"We never wished for this kind of life," sabi ni Sheera Escudero, na nawalan ng kapatid sa drug war noong 2017. "We just want a peaceful life with a complete family." Si Kristina Conti, lawyer ng Rise Up for Life and for Rights, ay nagsabi na kailangang ilantad ang katotohanan kung bakit naging intense ang killings sa ilalim ni Duterte.

Sa Pilipinas, naghahanda ang PNP para sa posibleng rallies mula sa supporters at critics. "Our security measures are in place to ensure the peaceful conduct of any activity," sabi ni PNP Chief Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. Inaasahan ang motorcades at Justice Watch gatherings. Ang hearing ay magpapatuloy hanggang February 27, na may desisyon sa loob ng 60 araw pagkatapos.
