Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was seen in person at the International Criminal Court for the first time since his arrest, ahead of his trial on crimes against humanity charges. The charges stem from thousands of deaths linked to his controversial war on drugs during his presidency. Duterte's appearance marks a significant step in the ICC proceedings against him, one of the most prominent heads of state to face the court over a domestic law-enforcement campaign. His trial is expected to draw international scrutiny given the scale of alleged extrajudicial killings attributed to his anti-drug policies.
