ICC judges allowed the prosecutor to investigate crimes against humanity in the Philippines on 15 September 2021, covering the drug war from November 2011 to March 2019. The Philippines asked for the investigation to be deferred in November 2021, but the chamber found domestic investigations inadequate and let the prosecutor resume in January 2023. The appeals chamber confirmed that decision on 18 July 2023, rejecting the government's jurisdiction arguments.[1]
