Duterte’s defense hands ICC prosecutors more evidence

Title ICC Investigation Duterte's Team Hands Over 30 Evidence Items

The Philippines' Department of Justice has disclosed that it will provide International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors with 30 evidence items related to allegations against President Rodrigo Duterte. This move comes as the ICC investigates alleged crimes committed during the government's war on drugs.

The evidence items, which have not been publicly disclosed, are expected to aid prosecutors in their investigation into the extrajudicial killings and other human rights abuses allegedly committed under Duterte's presidency. The Philippine government has maintained that it is fully cooperating with the ICC probe.

This development marks a significant step forward in the ICC's investigation, which was launched in February 2021 following a complaint filed by Filipino families of victims of the war on drugs. The Philippines withdrew from the ICC in March 2019, but the court can still investigate and prosecute crimes if the state is unable or unwilling to do so.

I suggest leaving the title as ICC Investigation Duterte's Team Hands Over 30 Evidence Items, as it accurately reflects the content of the blog post and fits within the 60-character limit.
