In the previous newsletter, Vikas Nagal, research assistant at CSEAS, had written about the International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and that she has to decide whether to open an investigation into the alleged crime against humanity committed by the Duterte administration in the Philippines. It can potentially lead to the trial and conviction of President Rodrigo Duterte and other senior officials. To understand more on the issue, Harsh Mahaseth, research analyst at CSEAS, had a brief conversation with Dr. Emma Palmer, Lecturer at the Griffith Law School, who has published two books - ‘Adapting International Criminal Justice in Southeast Asia: Beyond the International Criminal Court’, and with Sarah Williams and Hannah Woolaver, ‘The Amicus Curiae in International Criminal Justice’.
