Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested following an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for crimes against humanity over his deadly drug war.

Duterte was taken into custody upon landing in Manila on March 11 after attending a campaign event in Hong Kong.

His arrest follows a shift in stance by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., whose administration agreed to cooperate with the ICC despite initially rejecting its jurisdiction.
