AI Summary (NQ-processed)
The Philippine Supreme Court on the 20th rejected a plea from former police chief and current senator Ronald Dela Rosa, refusing to block an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Dela Rosa is wanted by the ICC for "crimes against humanity" for his role as the chief enforcer in former President Duterte's war on drugs. The ruling paves the way for his arrest, and a presidential spokesperson affirmed the warrant's validity. The report also mentions that Duterte was arrested last year and is awaiting trial in The Hague.
