In The Hague, Netherlands, volunteers organized a human barricade to shield drug war victims' families from harassment by supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte outside the International Criminal Court (ICC). This occurred on the third and fourth days of the pre-trial proceedings in February 2026. The incident reflects broader tensions between defenders and critics of Duterte's drug war.
The victims' legal team in Rodrigo Duterte's International Criminal Court case remains intact after the lead defense lawyer withdrew his challenge. Meanwhile, the prosecution has questioned the composition of Duterte's defense 'team'.

A child rights advocate who attended the International Criminal Court's confirmation of charges hearing against former president Rodrigo Duterte said the prosecution's evidence presentation indicates the case could proceed to trial. Rowena Legaspi, executive director of the Children's Legal Rights and Development Center, noted videos, public announcements, and policies signed by Duterte as key materials.
Court records from the International Criminal Court confirm substantial evidence against former president Rodrigo Duterte in his drug war, leading to an arrest warrant. Claims of no evidence are false, according to a fact-check. The prosecution continues seeking additional witnesses to strengthen the case.
