MSOpinion Our never-ending ICC problem “If the President can accept that abuses were committed, then that should be a signal and an incentive to act”

“If the President can accept that abuses were committed, then that should be a signal and an incentive to act”

The expectation is the issuance of arrest warrants is imminent to former and current public officials who were directly involved in the anti-drug campaign. Can you imagine the reaction of the international community if we will indeed arrest and charge these ICC officials that we allowed into the country?

We also have to ask the question why we allowed this issue to reach a point wherein the ICC may now have to issue arrest warrants.Were the steps taken the right ones?First is the issue of jurisdiction. True enough, but it is also true that our judicial system has many problems and is not perfect. Although we Filipinos are so familiar with our system and take everything in stride like alleged judicial corruption, judicial independence and court cases that last forever, it is hard for foreign observers to accept or understand it.

This invitation was again renewed last week with assurances of protection to complainants. Since the DOJ must be in possession of information regarding all of the so-called suspicious police operations, the better step is to start the investigations to show good faith.
