Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines, is set to face a trial for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court starting on November 30. He faces allegations of involvement in 76 murders during his 'war on drugs' from 2013 to 2018. The trial will be the first of its kind for an Asian former head of state. The prosecution plans to call 60-70 witnesses, while the defense argues that Duterte's health must be assessed before proceeding. Duterte has been granted leave of absence from court hearings and has only appeared via video, showing signs of confusion and fatigue. The case is politically charged, with the ICC facing pressure and the Philippines having left the court in 2019.
