The findings of ICC prosecutor that there is a basis to believe that crimes against humanity were committed under the term of President Rodrigo Duterte is a vindication for groups seeking accountability, Bayan Muna said. | GabrielLaluINQ

Both Bayan Muna chairperson Neri Colmenares and Rep. Carlos Zarate said on Tuesday that it validates the criticism they have hurled at the administration, especially on the talk of alleged human rights violations in the conduct of the war against illegal drugs.

“We are glad that the ICC Prosecutor found credence to these complaints and the pieces of evidence that we have presented,” he added. “The Duterte administration may deny to high heavens that they are blatantly violating human rights but the international community is also closely watching and we hope that justice will be served soon.”

“With the recently intensified red-tagging, arrests and extra-judicial killings of critics of the administration and the political opposition, we are relieved that the ICC has voiced its concern on the issue,” Zarate said.
