LAST WEEK’S arrest at Manila airport and extradition of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague has been met with widespread acclaim in the Western Establishment media.
If you believe these Western narratives, Duterte’s detention is yet another triumph of international justice, an endorsement of human rights legislation, and a vindication of the principle that “no-one is above the law.” This is apparently an open-and-shut case.
Let’s be clear. Duterte is not innocent. He has openly confessed his support for, if not direct involvement in, the extrajudicial killings (EJK) which he greenlit during the so-called drugs war. This happened first during his decades as mayor of Davao City on the island of Mindanao and then as president of the Philippines. In any truly independent and democratic society, Duterte would face charges in front of a jury of his peers.
