THE HAGUE, Netherlands ( The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Judges and enforcers of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have applied for visas to enter Russia. This after ICC judges ordered the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes.

Meanwhile, in anticipation of a similar arrest warrant for former President Rodrigo Duterte, ICC has also started the process of visa application to enter the Philippines. Duterte is accused of alleged crimes against humanity.

The Philippine Bureau of Immigration has recently added a new requirement for visa applications. The original school yearbook of applicants must be presented at the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate.
