00:00The International Criminal Court ruled that the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte

00:06for giving justice to victims of serious crimes under their jurisdiction was an important step.

00:13In the DOJ's opinion, it ruled that the due process was followed

00:17and that the former President's human rights were respected.

00:21Luisa Erispe is in the center of the news.

00:24The DOJ ruled that the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte was legal

00:31following the arrest of the International Criminal Court

00:35that was brought to the Philippines by the International Police Crime Organization or INTERPOL.

00:40In the statement issued by Assistant Secretary Nico Clavanol,

00:44DOJ spokesperson, the Philippine law or international law,

00:49there is nothing wrong with the arrest of Duterte.

00:52In the DOJ's opinion, there was a due process

00:55and that the former President's human rights were not neglected

00:59in the arrest of Duterte.

01:01In fact, the arrest of Duterte was peaceful and professional.

01:07In the case of bringing Duterte to the Philippines,

01:11DOJ said that it was in accordance with the law of the Philippines.

01:16An international law expert also agreed with the Philippine authorities

01:20in the arrest of Duterte.

01:22It is only natural that the process and bringing Duterte to Dahig was fast.

01:27This is an implementation of a warrant of arrest.

01:30You can't just implement a warrant of arrest and go shopping

01:35or go on vacation, right?

01:37So there is an urgency on this.

01:39Because the reason why there is an issuance of warrant of arrest is number one,

01:43there is a need to bring his person to the jurisdiction of the court

01:48to confirm his identity and to confirm the crime.

01:51To those who are questioning why Anya did not give Duterte a chance

01:56to approach the courts in the Philippines,

01:59I hope she will not blame the government.

02:02It has been a long time since Anya appeared in the documents held by the ICC

02:06in the Philippines.

02:08The cases related to extrajudicial killings,

02:12in the previous administration.

02:14If they were not able to exhaust the remedies based on their lack of exercise

02:22or failure to exercise and failure to demand such during that time,

02:28so there can never be a time where we have to shift the burden and blame

02:37to the international court or even to the President of the Philippines

02:44who is just doing also his prerogative as the President of the Republic of the Philippines.

02:52We will see there that the issue on whether the administration during that time

03:01was willing or unable to comply with its obligations.

03:06Because what is being said there is, there are records like in the local NBI, etc.

03:14And the records will show that no one went to court.

03:18Meanwhile, the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court or ICC

03:23said that the importance of arresting Duterte is great.

03:28Well, the arrest of the former President of the Philippines, Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte

03:36is an important moment.

03:37And in issuing the warrant, the judges have found reasonable grounds to believe

03:42that Mr. Duterte has committed the crime of murder

03:50as the founder, as the head of the so-called Davao death squad,

03:55as the mayor of Davao City, and then later as the President of the Philippines.

04:09And the fact that it's been executed is important to victims.

04:11It means a lot, I think, to victims.

04:13That's the feedback we've already received.

04:15And many say that international law is not as strong as we want.

04:20And I agree with that.

04:21But as I also repeatedly emphasize, international law is not as weak as some may think.

04:28When we come together, when we work, when we build partnerships, the rule of law can prevail.

04:35But they are sure that Duterte is still innocent until he is not put in court.

04:41He still has a chance to defend himself and give his testimony during the trial.
