The International Criminal Court said on the 8th that former Philippine President Duterte was able to effectively exercise the right to a fair trial in the proceedings and determined that it was “fit to stand trial.” The International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands, issued a statement on the same day saying that the Court's Third Trial Division made the above decision by a comprehensive independent expert panel investigation and the opinions of the parties. The Panel agreed that Duterte had the ability to understand the charges, understand the proceedings, aims and consequences, and guide counsel in preparing and conducting the defence.
