(UPDATE) A LAWYER representing victims of Rodrigo Duterte's bloody drug war on Wednesday denounced the former president's legal team for trying to block their participation in the ongoing proceedings before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Kristina Conti, counsel for victims before the ICC, criticized Duterte's defense lawyers for challenging the qualifications of victims seeking to take part in the case. In particular, she said their insistence on requiring formal national identification or passports as proof of identity was not only unrealistic but deliberately exclusionary.
