国际刑事法院第一预审分庭在5月21日的裁决中，驳回了菲律宾前总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特对指控其罪名确认结果提出上诉的请求。该裁决排除了对其审判进程的进一步拖延，审判最早可能于11月开始。
国际刑事法院第一预审分庭于5月21日作出决定，拒绝了杜特尔特针对4月份确认指控结果提出的上诉许可请求。分庭认定，其律师团队提出的两个问题均不符合法院规则中关于可上诉事项的界定。
杜特尔特的辩护团队此前主张，预审分庭在界定指控时范围过于宽泛，且未对其结论提供明确的证据基础。法院回应称，其仅引用了必要的证据来阐述推理过程，且第一个问题不符合上诉标准。
自2025年3月被捕以来，杜特尔特一直被关押在海牙。他面临三项反人类罪指控，涉及其担任达沃市长期间以及在全国范围内发动扫毒战争期间的所谓杀戮行为。随着此次上诉请求被驳回，其审判时间表将继续推进，不再受此额外审查程序的影响。
