The former Philippine president is facing charges of crimes against humanity in connection with his "war on drugs."
The ex-president of the Philippines is set to stand trial for crimes against humanity at The Hague. Rodrigo Duterte has been implicated in thousands of extrajudicial killings during his contentious anti-drug campaign.
However, domestic politics may have influenced his arrest, as Duterte had become an adversary of the current Philippine president.
So, is justice being served? Or is international law being used as a tool for political purposes? What does this mean for other high-profile figures sought by the International Criminal Court (ICC)?
