SolGen: No change in gov't policy on ICC
The Philippine Star|September 28, 2024
Contrary to claims of some allies of former president Rodrigo Duterte, the Marcos administration has not changed its policy on the ongoing investigation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the war on drugs, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra said.

"There is no change in the position previously stated by President (Marcos) many months ago. He has repeated that statement over and over, to the effect that the Philippines has no legal duty to cooperate (with the ICC)," Guevarra said in English and Filipino during an interview with "Storycon" on One News on Thursday.

"As far as that policy is concerned, I am not aware that the President has deviated from what he has consistently stated before. It's a policy, it's up to him whether he will stick to it or not," he added.

The administration drew criticism from Duterte's allies after Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said in August that the Philippines cannot block the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) from serving arrest warrants issued by the ICC.

He said the Philippines, while no longer a member of the ICC, is still obligated to honor its commitments with Interpol.

As we close 2024 and move forward to 2025, I have become more anxious about embracing artificial intelligence (AI), fearful as with all other technological advancements, that I will become so dependent on it that even in writing my column I may fall into the habit of using AI, especially when my muse eludes me or when I become too lazy to do my own research.
