The ICC found Putin guilty of “unlawful” deportation of 16,000 Ukrainian children into Russia since the February 2022 invasion. This is a war crime and a clear violation of international law. It sends a strong message to all those who think they can get away with such heinous acts.
The investigation also covers Duterte inhumane directives to kill drug suspects without regard for human rights. Government data shows that over 6,000 people have been killed in Duterte’s “war on drugs,” but human rights groups believe that number could be as high as 30,000, with some innocent victims executed without due process.
Justice must be served, and the ICC’s actions against Putin should serve as a warning to all those who commit atrocities. It’s time for a global movement towards accountability and justice for all, and governments must ensure that their citizens’ rights are protected.
We cannot allow impunity to reign, and we must hold our leaders accountable for their actions. Let’s stand together and demand justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. The ICC’s actions against Putin are just the beginning, and we must continue to fight for a better future where justice prevails.
Some reactions on twitter:
So ICC, which has been examining mass atrocities charges vs DUTERTE for years, has now issued ARREST warrant vs no less than PUTIN!? This is BIG!!!!
The ICC’s arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin would serve as a lesson to those who deny justice for the victims of former president Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody war on drugs. #ICC#JailDutertepic.twitter.com/cbbqwoxitG
Putin has an arrest warrant from ICC.
Trump is being indicted in NY.
Duterte is being investigated by ICC.
Crimes must be paid by these despicable monsters!
They can be arrested when they go to another country. Slobodan Miloševi? was arrested in Serbia and the US transported him to The Hague. Serbia and the US are NOT state parties to the Rome statue that created the ICC.
Some are skeptical that ICC will go after Duterte:
If the lady senator is serious, Risa Hontiveros should have her colleagues Bato dela Rosa & Bong Go investigated for their involvement in crimes against humanity when they carried out Duterte’s war on drugs. https://t.co/DF5xi5u9o4
Filipino Liberals celebrate the #ICC arrest warrant for #Putin, hoping to see former President #Duterte tried by the ICC as well. I believe this new dev’t will backfire and expose the ICC to the world as a toothless political attack dog used by the West liberals vs their enemies. pic.twitter.com/gt5Qw3ql7v

ICC arrest warrant vs Putin serves as warning to Duterte’s drug war
Senator Risa Hontiveros is not backing down when it comes to seeking justice for victims of Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs. The recent arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Russian President Vladimir Putin gives her even more reason to push for accountability for crimes against humanity.
The ICC found Putin guilty of “unlawful” deportation of 16,000 Ukrainian children into Russia since the February 2022 invasion. This is a war crime and a clear violation of international law. It sends a strong message to all those who think they can get away with such heinous acts.
The investigation also covers Duterte inhumane directives to kill drug suspects without regard for human rights. Government data shows that over 6,000 people have been killed in Duterte’s “war on drugs,” but human rights groups believe that number could be as high as 30,000, with some innocent victims executed without due process.
