Nanindigan si Pang. Bongbong Marcos na hindi pwedeng kastiguhin ng International Criminal Court o ICC ang Pilipinas.
Ito’y kasunod ng pagbasura ng ICC Appeals Chamber sa apela ng bansa na suspindihin ang imbestigasyon sa war on drugs sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Ayon sa Pangulo wala ng gagawing hakbang ang Pilipinas at dito na nagtatapos ang ugnayan ng Pilipinas sa ICC.
Ayon sa pangulo, hindi na muli maaaring umapela ang bansa matapos itong biguin ng ICC sa dalawang nitong naunang kahilingan noong Pebrero at Marso.
Binigyang-diin naman muli ni Marcos ang dati niyang pahayag na hindi siya makikipagtulungan sa ICC dahil wala umano itong jurisdiction sa bansa.
“And so at this point, we essentially are disengaging from any contact, from any communication I guess with the ICC. We are back to the position that we… We ended up with the same position that we started with and that is we cannot cooperate with the ICC considering the very serious questions about their jurisdiction and about the – what we consider to be interference and practically attacks on the sovereignty of the Republic. So that’s pretty much it. We have no longer any recourse when it comes to the ICC. We have not been involved with the actual action. Merely as a comment, we would comment, and the appeal is part of a comment. But we have not appeared as a party in the ICC because we do not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC,” pahayag ng Pangulong Marcos Jr.
