Data from the families of the victims of illegal drugs operations and the speeches and statements made by former President Rodrigo R. Duterte will be presented as evidence before the International Criminal Court (ICC), a lawyer said on Friday, July 21. National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers-National Capital Region (NUPL-NCR) Secretary General Kristina Conti, ICC assistant to counsel, said during an interview on ANC: “We are also preparing the speeches and public statements that have been made available by the former President because that’s how precisely he is being tagged or being impleaded in these proceedings that he masterminded, ordered and encouraged all these killings. “They (ICC) are trying heads of state, they are trying masterminds and for them these pieces of evidence is admissible and would be taken in by the justices or the judges. “These videos, these speeches, these transcripts have been made available on official websites. “So, we are looking at ways on how to properly preserve, document and share with the ICC all these pieces of evidence that we have.” Conti said that it may take the ICC more than a decade to come out of its findings. “We have already told the families we are looking at 10 years or more,” said Conti who noted that it has been five years since the case was brought before the ICC. “What’s best for the families right now is to cooperate with the ICC because this investigation will move forward and ask for evidence,” she said. She pointed out that there are two types of available data that will be presented to the ICC -- aggregated data and data with the families. Aggregated data is information with the government which are “the compilation of all police report, compilation of other documents that would be related to the war on drugs,” she said. “That would be an easy source of information because all the data is there. All you have to do is process,” she noted. At the same time, Conti said  “there’s the 7,000 case that’s with the Supreme Court” and those cases were brought by the Philippine National Police (PNP) concerning the pending drug war issue before the tribunal. Citing data from families, she said: “We have many stories of families being raided inside their homes and the women and children being asked to leave the room and the father or the son or a male member of the family which was asked to stay inside that’s where they will be killed.” “So, these children, these mothers, these women would likely be taken as eyewitnesses themselves,” she said. But she said the data with the families “would be painstaking work to put them all together.” “In fact, I myself have been through only data from 200 families,” she noted.
