Overview

• Prosecutors made public a heavily redacted charge sheet dated July 4, signed by deputy prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang, alleging Duterte’s responsibility for at least 76 murders from 2013 to 2018.
• The three counts cover 19 killings in Davao City (2013–2016), 14 murders of so‑called high‑value targets (2016–2017), and 43 deaths in village clearance operations nationwide (2016–2018).
• The filing describes Duterte as an indirect co‑perpetrator and says police and non‑state actors, including hitmen, carried out the killings.
• Prosecutors argue the charged incidents reflect a wider, nationwide attack that resulted in thousands of deaths during the anti‑drug campaign.
• Duterte was arrested in Manila on March 11, transferred to The Hague the same night, and remains in ICC custody, as his lawyers seek indefinite adjournment and interim release; the ICC asserts jurisdiction over pre‑2019 conduct after a 2023 appeals ruling.
