Senate debate seen on extraordinary renditionIn co-sponsoring Senate Resolution No. MANILA, Philippines — Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano yesterday sponsored the minority bloc’s resolution seeking to protect Filipinos from extraordinary rendition or surrender to a foreign country, amid a likely issuance by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of arrest warrants for his allies Senators Ronald dela Rosa and Bong Go. In co-sponsoring Senate Resolution No. Cayetano said judicial participation is a constitutional requirement even in cases involving international arrest warrants. He cited countries like Canada, the United Kingdom and South Korea, which require domestic legal processes and court participation before granting request from a foreign court for any arrest or surrender.
