Court junks petition vs PH withdrawal from ICC

THE Supreme Court on Tuesday junked the petition filed by opposition senators and the Philippine Coalition for the International Criminal Courts (PCICC) questioning the Philippine government’s withdrawal from the International Criminal Courts (ICC), which was undertaken without the concurrence of the Senate.

An advisory from the Supreme Court Public Information Office said the court en banc was unanimous in its ruling to affirm President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to pull out from the ICC.
