Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte made his first appearance at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday to face charges of crimes against humanity related to his war on drugs. Duterte's lawyer claimed he was too ill to give evidence and had been abducted from the Philippines. Protesters outside the court and family members of victims in the Philippines welcomed Duterte's arrest, a landmark moment after his controversial crackdown that allegedly targeted young men in poor urban areas.
