Walang aasahang kooperasyon ang International Criminal Court mula kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. kaugnay sa ginagawang imbestigasyon sa anti-drug war campaign ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Sa ambush interview sa Philippine Military Academy Alumni Homecoming, sinabi ng Pangulo na hindi nababago ang kanyang posisyon.
Kinukwestyun kasi ng Pangulo kung ano ang hurisdiksyon ng ICC sa Pilipinas.
Malinaw naman kasi aniya na gumagana ang sistema ng hudikatura sa bansa.
“My position hasn’t changed and I have stated it often even before I took office as President that there are many questions about their jurisdiction and what can be — what we in the Philippines regard as an intrusion into our internal matters and a threat to our sovereignty,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
“So no, I do not see what their jurisdiction is. I feel that we have in our police, in our judiciary, a good system. We do not need assistance from any outside entity, the Philippines is a sovereign nation and we are not colonies anymore of this former imperialist. So that is not something that we consider to be a legitimate judgment,” dagdag ng Pangulo.
Una rito, naghain ng resolusyon si dating Pangulo at ngayon ay House Deputy Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo para harangin ang imbestigasyon ng ICC.
“So until those questions of jurisdiction and the effects on the sovereignty of the Republic are sufficiently answered, I cannot cooperate with them,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
