ICC transmits Duterte case records to Presidency

DT

The International Criminal Court has transmitted the record of proceedings in the case against former president Rodrigo Duterte to its Presidency, marking a procedural step following the confirmation of charges.

In a document dated 24 April 2026, the ICC Registry said it forwarded the case records, including the “Decision on the confirmation of charges against Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte” issued on 23 April by Pre-Trial Chamber I. 

The transmission includes indexes of filings, hearing transcripts, and evidentiary materials submitted in the case, according to the document. 

The Presidency of the ICC, composed of three judges, is responsible for overseeing the administration of the court and may take further procedural steps following the confirmation stage.

The case forms part of the ICC’s investigation into the situation in the Philippines.

Court records show that some annexes to the transmission remain classified and accessible only to the Presidency at this stage of proceedings. 

The document was issued from The Hague, Netherlands, where the ICC is based.
