MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Russia has put an ICC prosecutor and two judges on its “wanted list” following an arrest order by the criminal court for President Vladimir Putin on charges of crimes against humanity.

Russia opened criminal cases against ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan and judges who ordered Putin’s arrest, including Tomoko Akane and Rosario Salvatore Aitala.

Meanwhile, the government of the Philippines has declared all ICC judges and investigators “persona non grata” following the decision of the court to deny its appeal to stop the investigation on the country’s war on drugs.

Being declared “persona non grata” bars the person/s from entering the country which means ICC’s investigation and court proceedings relating to former President Rodrigo Duterte and his war on drugs will all have to be conducted “in absentia.”
