Duterte to convince Rome Statute parties to withdraw from ICC 1930 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Argyll Cyrus GeducosPresident Duterte is not yet done with his actions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), vowing over the weekend to convince the other parties to the Rome Statute to withdraw their membership with the High Court. He noted that a law, particularly a criminal law like the Rome Statute, must be published in the official publication for it to take effect. “Barug katungod Mindanao is horrified by the pronouncement of President Rodrigo Duterte to immediately withdraw the Philippine’s adherence to the Rome Statute that the country ratified in 2011,” the group said.
