Who would have guessed that the first head of government from the past decade who would be arrested for #humanrights #crimes wouldn't be #Putin, #Trump, #Netanyahu #MinAung #Myanmar or (one can dream) #Xi, but #Duterte #Philippines!
Hopefully (but unlikely), the start of a trend
@ncoca I mean, it wasn't my guess, but honestly in retrospect it feels guessable
Excellent news!
Among those six, those who are fugitives wanted by the #ICC for #WarCrimes , #CrimesAgainstHumanity and/or #Genocide [1], apart from #Duterte, are #Putin plus 5 other Russians [2]; #Netanyahu + #Gallant [3]. #AungMin so far only has a request to #PreTrialChamberI for an arrest warrant [4][5].
