Take note that Nazi war criminals have been arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced even if they were already in their advanced age. The Filipino international law professor Romel Bagares explains that the crimes of today can still be prosecuted 20, 30, or 50 years from now as long as the perpetrators are alive. Non-prescription is the same rule that applies to international courts like the ICC. Section 11 on Non-Prescripton reads: “The crimes defined and penalized under this Act, their prosecution, and the execution of sentences imposed on their account, shall not be subject to any prescription.” Somebody lecture Bato that in 2009, the Philippines signed into law Republic Act 9851: An Act Defining and Penalizing Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and Other Crimes Against Humanity. This approach was done before in the case of Darfur (Sudan) and Libya. In which case, the duty to cooperate binds the relevant UN Member States, regardless of whether or not they are a state party to the Rome Statute. It can elevate the matter to the United Nations Security Council. There is also another approach for the ICC to execute an arrest. It will be a very tightened world for anyone wanted by the ICC. That goes as well for Rodrigo Duterte. The 123 member countries can certainly execute the arrest. Perhaps the only countries he can travel to would be China and Russia. That is a menacing scenario for one like Dela Rosa even if he travels to non-ICC countries. Take note that the EU has tremendous clout through trade and diplomacy.

Through the power of negotiations and dialogues with other countries, the EU and its member countries have been promoting universal support for the Rome Statute that created the ICC.Īmong the ICC’s operations that the EU and EU countries have committed to is to “take to ensure full cooperation of non-EU countries with the ICC, including the prompt execution of arrest warrants.” In other words, the EU and its member countries can prod another state, which may be or may not be a member of the ICC, to execute the ICC’s arrest warrant. In 20, the EU entered into agreements with the ICC. He can tremble in fear at what the European Union can do. International law appears to be alien to the senator, particularly the mechanisms in place in the ICC. It was later restored, but did he get the message? That was a fair warning for him once he becomes a fugitive of international law. Dela Rosa can still recall the cancellation of his US visa in 2020. But the US has in place the Global Magnitsky Act of 2016 that can sanction foreign government officials worldwide who are human rights offenders, freeze their assets, and ban them from entering the US. For example, he can visit non-ICC member countries like China, India, or in principle the United States. There will only be very few countries he can actually visit. Initially, Putin’s arrest warrant will curtail his movements. As for World War III to erupt if Rodrigo Duterte is arrested, Dela Rosa can try looking up what the German word realpolitik means. World sympathy is not on Russia but on Ukraine.
Many countries will just be too happy to see the bully of Moscow get prosecuted and tried for his war crimes in Ukraine. There will be no world war if Putin is arrested. His outlandish statement on Vladimir Putin’s arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court: “So, who will make the arrest? If other forces of another nationality will enter, that will result in war.” After all, he was elected on the strength of troll-generated populism that catapulted him into a world of his fantasy – at our expense. Either that or he is faking boldness to hide his trembling fears of being prosecuted for crimes against humanity and becoming the scorn of the world. For a lawmaker elected to the branch of government that ratifies international treaties, Bato dela Rosa makes an interesting subject – for his gross ignorance.
