ICC postpones drug war trial for ex-Philippine president Duterte amid health concerns

The International Criminal Court has postponed “until further notice” a crimes against humanity hearing concerning former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, while judges weigh his fitness to take part.

Duterte, 80, was arrested and taken to The Hague in March on charges linked to his “war on drugs”, in which thousands of alleged narcotics peddlers and users were killed.

On Monday, judges allowed for an indefinite postponement of the so-called confirmation of charges hearings that had been set for September 23.
