MANILA, Philippines — It is the Duterte administration’s fault that it found the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) report and findings on the bloody war on drugs as one-sided because it did not submit their own evidence, Bayan Muna chairman Neri Colmenares said Friday. “The ICC really made sure all evidence was available there before the report. Now, he claims it’s one-sided but it is actually his fault because he did not submit any evidence,” Colmenares told ABS-CBN News Channel, responding to a query about the possibility that the government won’t cooperate with the ICC investigation. ADVERTISEMENTSince the government did not send pieces of evidence, Colmenares said the ICC prosecutor used Philippine National Police (PNP) records to show how many died in the drug war as well as the circumstances of the killings. So it’s not really the one-sided thing,” said Colmenares.
