What happens after Duterte’s confirmation of charges at the ICC? Charges are confirmedThe first is whether the charges against Duterte are confirmed to have enough evidence to proceed to trial before the ICC Chamber.

Regardless of the outcome of Duterte’s confirmation of charges hearing, it does not mean the ICC proceedings are automatically concluded.
