NETHERLANDS-PHILIPPINES-ICC-POLITICS-JUSTICE-DEMO

Protestors, rallying in support of the detention of former Philippine's president Rodrigo Duterte, hold a placard which reads as « hold Duterte accountable now » outside of the International Criminal Court (ICC) where he will be questioned by the International Criminal Court on charges of crimes against humanity, in The Hague on February 23, 2026. As the 80-year-old will not be present at the hearing in The Hague after the court granted a defence request to waive his right to appear, despite judges ruling that he was fit to take part, the "confirmation of charges" hearing, taking place over four days, will determine whether there is enough evidence against Duterte to proceed to a trial.
