Title Duterte on Trial Bringing Light to the Darkest Corner of the Philippines' Drug War

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken a critical step towards ensuring accountability for human rights violations by preparing to try Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

For many Filipinos, the mention of Duterte evokes feelings of fear and despair. His drug war, which began in 2016, has resulted in thousands of deaths, with many more families torn apart by violence.

As Gilbert Andres notes, The trial will bring light to the darkness that these victims have endured. It's about acknowledging the pain and suffering they've experienced, and ensuring that justice is served.
