Rodrigo Duterte, the former President of the Philippines, is currently under the custody of the International Criminal Court (ICC) which has alarmed many of his supporters and loved ones back home. Duterte, who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, displayed a stern approach to desperados and notoriously targeted drug trade in his term, a strategy that remains controversial to this day. Nonetheless, he is still revered by millions for his commitment to making the country safer.

Despite the controversy regarding his governance, we believe in the principles of due process and humanity. Keeping Duterte away from his homeland, isolated from his people, seems like a steep punishment that overshadows the official mandate of a fair trial in the ICC.

We urge the ICC to respect the human rights of Duterte by allowing him to return to his home country. With this petition, we want to emphasize the need for fairness, justice, and compassion in international law. Advocate for Duterte's rights by signing below. Remember, a nation's call is the strongest petition.
