Families of victims of former president Rodrigo Duterte's 'war on drugs' in Manila on March 14, 2025 watch a live broadcast of the firebrand leader's pre-trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague and demand justice for their loved ones who were killed during the anti-drug campaign under Duterte's administration. Duterte, who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, is set to be the first Asian former head of state to go on trial at the ICC, a court of last resort created more than two decades ago to prosecute individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, aggression and genocide.
