국제형사재판소(ICC)가 로드리고 두테르테 전 필리핀 대통령의 수석 변호인 니콜라스 카우프만의 사임을 승인했다. 제3재판부는 이번 교체가 어떠한 불이익이나 불편을 초래하지 않는다는 내용의 5페이지 분량의 결정을 발표했다.
ICC 재판부 판사들은 지난 금요일 카우프만 변호사가 두테르테 전 대통령이 새로운 변호인을 선임할 계획이라고 통보한 뒤 그의 요청을 수락했다. 후임 변호인의 신원은 아직 공개되지 않았다. 카우프만은 3월 31일부로 종료되는 1년 임기 계약을 맺고 있었다.
재판부는 결정문을 통해 카우프만이 앞으로도 변호인을 위한 직업 윤리 강령을 준수해야 한다고 명시했다. 또한 로마 규정과 절차 및 증거 규칙에 따른 비밀 유지 의무도 여전히 구속력을 갖는다.
해당 결정은 어제 헤이그에서 발표되었다. 이로써 두테르테 사건에서 카우프만의 공식적인 역할은 종료되었다.
