ICC Pretrial Moves Duterte Case Forward on Crimes Against Humanity

At The Hague, ICC prosecutors outlined charges that former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte oversaw a deadly anti-drug crackdown and encouraged death squads with fear and rewards; the pretrial hearing seeks to determine if a full trial is warranted on three counts of crimes against humanity, with judges given 60 days to decide. Duterte did not attend; his defense claims the prosecution cherry-picks rhetoric and questions the court's jurisdiction, amid ongoing debate and protests over accountability for killings in the drug war.

Indian Man Wakes on Funeral Pyre, Doctors Suspended for Premature Death Declaration

A key UN General Assembly committee has adopted a resolution to begin negotiations on the first-ever treaty to prevent and punish crimes against humanity, following Russia's withdrawal of amendments that could have stalled the process. The resolution, supported by 98 countries, sets a timeline for preparatory sessions in 2026 and 2027, with negotiations in 2028 and 2029. This initiative aims to address a gap in international law, as the International Criminal Court does not cover all countries. Human rights advocates hail this as a historic step towards reinforcing international justice.

"German Woman's Appeal Denied in Case of Yazidi Slave Girl's Death in Iraq"

A German woman, identified as Jennifer W., has lost her appeal of a 14-year sentence for allowing a 5-year-old Yazidi girl, whom she and her husband kept as a slave when they were members of the Islamic State group in Iraq, to die of thirst in the sun. The woman was convicted of crimes against humanity through enslavement, one case resulting in death, and membership in a terrorist organization abroad. The court rejected her appeal as "manifestly unfounded," and her former husband, an Iraqi citizen, was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and bodily harm resulting in death and sentenced to life imprisonment.
