Watch more on iWantTFC MANILA – Can the Philippine government stop the International Criminal Court from investigating possible crimes against humanity allegedly committed under the leadership of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in the context of his "war on drugs?"

According to lawyer Ruben Carranza, International Center for Transitional Justice Senior Expert, the Philippine government can still appeal the decision of the ICC’s pre-trial chamber to authorize an investigation. "While that is going on, the prosecutor can already, is not stopped from actually conducting investigations. The prosecutor is also not stopped from seeking warrants of arrest or summons at this stage. She can already do that even if the Philippines were to appeal this authorization.”

The ICC, however, said that they still retain jurisdiction with respect to alleged crimes that occurred on the territory of the Philippines while it was a state party. In the interview, Carranza said human rights groups should not give up on looking for “domestic accountability” for alleged drug war killings in the Philippines.
