Duterte faces charges of crimes against humanity over thousands of killings linked to his anti-drug campaign during his terms as Davao City mayor and as president. He was arrested in the Philippines on March 11 and flown to The Hague, where he remains in detention at Scheveningen Prison.
The former president made his first court appearance via video link on March 14, when judges read him the charges and informed him of his rights under the Rome Statute. The Pre-Trial Chamber has scheduled a hearing on the confirmation of charges for September 23.
