The International Criminal Court where detained former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is being taken after his arrest in the Philippines is a court of last resort for the most serious international offenses,

The arrest represents a significant victory for the I.C.C., but only a narrow set of circumstances made it possible.

Rodrigo Duterte is in the custody of the International Criminal Court after being arrested on charges of crimes against humanity. His arrest is linked to his 'war on drugs' while president of the Philippines and mayor of Davao. He's expected to be transferred to a detention centre on the Dutch coast, ahead of a court hearing in the coming days.
