THE HAGUE — Inaprubahan ng International Criminal Court (ICC) ang mga kahilingan ng kampo ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at ng Prosekusyon na magdagdag ng mga karagdagang ebidensya para sa nakatakdang confirmation of charges sa susunod na linggo kaugnay ng kontrobersyal na war on drugs.
Sa desisyong may petsang Pebrero 20, 2026, pinagbigyan ng Pre-Trial Chamber I ang “‘Defence Second Request for Leave to Add Items to its List of Evidence’ and the Prosecution’s request to add fourteen items to its list of evidence.”
Nauna rito, noong Pebrero 10, 2026, inaprubahan din ng Kapulungan ang hiwalay na mga kahilingan ng Defence at Prosecution na magdagdag ng tig-iisang item sa kani-kanilang listahan ng ebidensya. Naghain ang dalawang panig ng updated na bersyon ng kanilang mga listahan noong Pebrero 13, 2026.
Noong Pebrero 18, 2026, humiling ang Defence ng “leave to add 108 items […] to its List of Evidence as it indicated inter alia that the Prosecution has confirmed […] in inter partes communications that the addition of these [i]tems to the Defence List of Evidence causes it no prejudice.”
Sa kaparehong araw, kinumpirma ng Prosekusyon na “it does not object to the admission of the material listed in […] Annex A of the [Defence’s Request]’; and requested the Chamber ‘to admit […] fourteen items to the Prosecution’s List of Evidence’, clarifying that ‘[i]n the course of the inter partes communications, the Defence agreed that they would not Object’.”
Ayon sa Pre-Trial Chamber I, “Noting the limited extent of the requested additions, the nature of the material concerned and its relevance to the charges brought against the suspect, as well as the absence of objection from the parties and participants to both the Defence’s and Prosecution’s Requests, the Chamber considers that there is good cause to grant such requests without causing undue prejudice to either party.”
Dagdag pa ng Kapulungan: “FOR THESE REASONS, THE CHAMBER HEREBY GRANTS the Defence’s Request and the Prosecution’s Request; and ORDERS the Defence and the Prosecution to file an updated list of evidence by no later than 20 February 2026 at 16:00.”
Samantala, pinagbigyan din ng ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I ang hiling ni Duterte na i-waive ang kanyang karapatan na personal na dumalo sa confirmation of charges hearing na itinakda sa susunod na linggo kaugnay pa rin ng war on drugs.
