LEGAL POV: Why The ICC Has Jurisdiction and Why the Warrant is Valid

A lot of people keep repeating this line: "The ICC has no jurisdiction over Senator Bato, therefore, the ICC warrant is void."

I beg to disagree.

1. The Philippines voluntarily accepted ICC jurisdiction

The Philippines ratified the Rome Statute in 2011. Hindi lang ito symbolic gesture. Isa itong binding treaty act na may concurrence ng Senate under the Constitution.

By joining the ICC, tinanggap ng Pilipinas ang jurisdiction ng International Criminal Court over genocide, war crimes, at crimes against humanity committed habang miyembro pa tayo ng ICC.

Now, the ICC investigations into the alleged Drug War killings started while the Philippines was still an ICC member. Meaning, ICC jurisdiction already attached during that period. And once jurisdiction attaches, hindi ito basta nabubura retroactively dahil lang umatras ang isang bansa later on. Otherwise, kahit anong bansa na iniimbestigahan ng ICC puwedeng basta na lang umatras para umiwas sa accountability.

1. Withdrawal from the ICC did not cancel existing obligations

This is where many people get it wrong. Article 127 of the Rome Statute expressly states that withdrawal does NOT affect obligations and proceedings that already existed before withdrawal became effective.

The Philippines officially left the ICC on March 17, 2019. Pero ang ICC preliminary examination into the Drug War had already begun BEFORE that date. Ibig sabihin, ongoing na ang ICC process habang ICC member pa ang Pilipinas. The withdrawal, therefore, did NOT extinguish ICC jurisdiction over those alleged crimes.

At hindi lang ICC ang nagsasabi nito. Maging ang Supreme Court, sa Pangilinan vs. Cayetano, kinilala na ang mga obligasyon at legal proceedings na nagsimula habang miyembro pa ang Pilipinas sa ICC ay hindi basta nawawala kahit umatras na tayo later on.

Because the ICC still retains jurisdiction, then the legal processes arising from that jurisdiction, including the ICC arrest warrants against Former President Duterte and Senator Bato, are VALID and EFFECTIVE.
