Duterte is set to enter ICC detention. Here’s what awaits the Philippine ex-president
Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is expected to arrive in the Netherlands on Wednesday to face charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) related to his crackdown on drugs. Upon arrival, he will be processed at the ICC's detention unit in The Hague, a facility within a Dutch prison.
The ICC detention unit, located in Scheveningen, has a history of housing high-profile individuals accused of international crimes. It previously held detainees for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), including figures like Slobodan Milosevic, Radovan Karadzic, and Ratko Mladic. Duterte will undergo an initial appearance before the ICC judges after being processed.
