The Philippines will not cooperate with a formal investigation launched by the International Criminal Court into possible crimes against humanity committed in President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs”, a presidential legal spokesperson said.

Chief presidential legal counsel Salvador Panelo also told DZBB radio station on Thursday that ICC investigators would not be permitted to enter the country to conduct the probe that was approved a day earlier.
