Judges ⁠at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have confirmed all three counts of murder as crimes against ⁠humanity against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and committed him to trial.

The judges on Thursday said there were “substantial grounds” ⁠to believe Duterte, 81, played a key role in the murders of 76 people and the attempted murder of two others as part of his so-called “war on drugs”, which prosecutors ‌say killed thousands of civilians in the Philippines. (Al Jazeera)
