ICC Judges’ Criteria In Rodrigo Duterte Case?

Judges love a good rubric. Whether it’s American Idol, America’s Got Talent, or RuPaul’s Drag Race, there’s always a checklist: vocal technique, charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

But when it comes to ICC judges? Sorry, they’re not scoring on crowd cheers or how many Facebook likes your lawyer gets. You can hold rallies, sign petitions, and even fly Malcolm Conlan in on a unicorn — they don’t matter. These folks are grading war crimes, not a high school talent show. It’s not “Justice’s Got Talent,” no matter how many YouTube vlogs you make in barong tagalog.

So unless the judges start handing out scores like “Crimes Against Humanity: 9.8, but bonus points for the TikTok dance,” those pro-Duterte picnics are just glorified potlucks. In short, no, audience impact won’t sway them. The ICC doesn’t care if your president is a crowd favorite. It’s not a popularity contest—it’s literally a court.
