The Role of Dela Rosa and Go Named by ICC in Duterte Charging Document

As the International Criminal Court (ICC) continues its investigation into former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's alleged crimes against humanity, a lesser-redacted version of the Document Containing the Charges (DCC) has been released. The document reveals the names of Senators Ronald Dela Rosa and Bong Go, as well as seven former senior government and police officials, as co-perpetrators in the case.

The ICC's swift progression with its proceedings is a testament to the gravity of the allegations and the need for accountability. With the confirmation of charges hearing scheduled to begin on February 23, the stakes are higher than ever before.

The Charges Against Duterte

According to the DCC, Duterte is accused of indirect co-perpetration, ordering and aiding, and abetting in the murders of at least 78 individuals as part of his war on drugs between 2011 and 2019. The document alleges that Dela Rosa and Go, along with several high-ranking officials, were involved in a common plan to neutralize alleged criminals through violent means.

The Investigation Reveals Widespread Involvement

The ICC's investigation has uncovered a vast network of police officers, civilian hitmen, and local officials who were involved in the killings. The document details how this network evolved from the Davao Death Squad (DDS) in Davao City to a national network that spanned the country.

Victims' Families Welcome Progress

The victims' families have welcomed the ICC's authorization for the participation of 500 more applicants as victims, bringing the total number of participating victims to over 539. The alliance of families affected by the drug war has also condemned the disqualification request filed by Duterte's lawyer against the legal counsel of the victims.

Looking Ahead

As the confirmation of charges hearing approaches, the stakes are higher than ever before. However, with the ICC moving forward at a swift pace, it is clear that justice will be served. The families of the victims have been fighting for years to bring their loved ones' killers to account, and they will not stop until they see justice.

Conclusion

The role of Dela Rosa, Go, and other officials in Duterte's war on drugs has finally been exposed by the ICC. As the world watches the proceedings unfold, it is clear that accountability will be served. With the ICC moving forward at a swift pace, we can expect to see justice being served soon.
