THE EDITOR
On November 9, Ombudsman Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla said in a DZRH interview that a warrant of arrest has already been issued against Dela Rosa by the ICC in connection with the war on drugs during the administration of detained former president Rodrigo Duterte.
However, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine Embassy in The Hague, Netherlands, said that they have yet to be notified of a warrant. The Department of Justice also said that it has yet to “verify the information.”
Handover, not extradition. Should Dela Rosa be arrested, it would be considered a surrender to the tribunal’s jurisdiction, not extradition, according to ICC Assistant to Counsel Kristina Conti.
Conti clarified the distinction, emphasizing that the ICC warrant is an international warrant, not a foreign warrant issued by another country.
“Ang extradition ay usapin sa pagitan ng mga bansa. Hindi bansa ang ICC,” Conti said in a Facebook post.
(Extradition is a matter between countries. The ICC is not a country.)
