International Criminal Court judges say Philippine ex-President Rodrigo Duterte is fit to stand trial

Judges at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, have officially ruled that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is fit to stand trial. The decision clears a legal hurdle for the proceedings against the former leader.

Duterte faces serious charges of crimes against humanity. These allegations are directly linked to the controversial "war on drugs" that he waged during his time in office as president of the Philippines.
