Nicholas Kaufman, lawyer for former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, said the allegation against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is “not irrelevant” in the ICC hearing.
Kaufman claimed Marcos played a role in the alleged escape and funding of witnesses but could not disclose details due to protective measures.
Human rights lawyer Neri Colmenares emphasized that what matters is whether Duterte himself had knowledge of the killings linked to the war on drugs.
