The International Criminal Court (ICC) has postponed a key hearing against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, originally set for September 23, citing concerns over his fitness to stand trial. Duterte faces charges of crimes against humanity linked to his controversial "war on drugs," which human rights groups claim resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings. The court announced that proceedings are adjourned "until further notice" while judges assess a defense motion arguing that the 80-year-old is medically unfit to participate. The delay marks a significant pause in the high-profile case, which has drawn global attention and sparked debate over accountability for state-led violence. Litigation over Duterte’s health and ability to face trial remains ongoing.
