Philippines Vows to Arrest Fugitive Senator Wanted by ICC The Philippines' vow to arrest fugitive Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity, is a test of accountability in a country that has long struggled with impunity.
Dela Rosa's status as a senator and former police chief makes his situation particularly complex.
As the architect of President Rodrigo Duterte's "war on drugs," he was instrumental in orchestrating the brutal crackdown that left thousands dead, often in extrajudicial killings.
