ICC chamber rules case against Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs killings to proceed

Families of victims of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs hailed as a “vindication” on Wednesday the International Criminal Court Appeals Chamber’s refusal to throw out the crimes against humanity case against him.
