Milosevic, the former Yugoslav ruler, was arrested in 2001 under pressure from inside and outside and sent to The Hague, the Netherlands, where he died in 2005. This accident caused a sensation all over the world, and it is really surprising that the leader of a country was forcibly extradited out of the country for trial. Recently, Duterte (former Philippines**) has also felt a hint of caution that he may face the same danger as Milosevic. Through his former press spokesman Harry Roque, Duterte has said he believes he will be arrested, admitting that if he is handed over to the ICC, he will most likely not survive. Roque also revealed Duterte's belief that only Philippine law could bind him, and called on Marcos not to cooperate with the ICC in any way. Why, then, did Duterte clash with the ICC? Why did the ICC arrest Duterte?
Duterte launched a "war on drugs" during his administration. Since taking office, Lao Du has been committed to fundamentally eradicating the problem of drug trafficking in the Philippines and has dealt a major blow to it. Duterte's anti-drug campaign can almost be described as a small battle, because the group has deep roots and influence in the Philippines. Of these, 11 are mayors and six are deputy mayors. Duterte's "iron-fisted anti-narcotics" policy has achieved certain results, but it has also attracted a lot of criticism, especially the ICC, which is extremely dissatisfied with Duterte. Duterte reacted to this by opting to withdraw from the ICC, which caused an uproar throughout the Western world.
When Duterte is in office, the ICC cannot impose severe sanctions on him. Now that Duterte has done so, if Marcos, the incumbent of the Philippines, is determined to do so, Duterte will be in a very bad position. Unlike Milosevic, Duterte wields a certain amount of power. The Duterte family has a lot of influence in Mindanao and Davao City, and there are many students, so it is difficult for Marcos to meddle in local affairs. Lao Du had good connections with the local army, and during his tenure as **, he gave the local tribes a certain degree of autonomy. Whether it is ICC or the Philippines**, if you want to arrest Lao Du, I am afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns.
The conflict between Duterte and Marcos is well known. Mr. Marcos is said to have sent ICC "investigators" to the territory of the Philippines. Although it is more difficult to capture Duterte now, there is no doubt that as long as the elder Duterte is sent to The Hague, his fate will be similar to that of Milosevic. Unlike Milosevic, Lao Du now holds real power, and in this case, he may not be unable to think about it.
