China News Agency, Manila, June 15 (Reporter Guan Xiangdong) Philippine Presidential Spokesperson Harry Rock said at a press conference on the 15th that the Philippines will not cooperate with the International Criminal Court in launching any investigation into the Philippine government's anti-drug campaign.

One case is that the Philippines is no longer a member of the agency, and the other case is that the Philippine national agency has launched an investigation.

　　The International Criminal Court, headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, stated on June 14 that it would seek to initiate relevant procedures to investigate the Philippines’ anti-drug operations in recent years for “crimes against humanity”.

The incident stemmed from the International Criminal Court's accusation that the Duterte administration had launched an anti-drug campaign on July 1, 2016. By March 31, 2017, thousands of suspects in drug-related crimes were suspected of extrajudicial killings, calling for an investigation.

　　Locke stated that the Philippine government will not allow the International Criminal Court to replace domestic courts and emphasized that the country's legal system is independent, fair and competent.

　　At the same press conference, the Philippine National Police Chief Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar stated that all drug-related deaths will be carried out in the "police process investigation" ; All cases of anti-drug operations leading to the death of a suspect or police officer can be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for review.

　　The Philippine News Agency reported that the Philippine Attorney General Menardo I. Guevarra announced in June this year that an inter-agency investigation team was established to investigate drug-related murders.

　　On the 15th, the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that the Philippine government "deeply regretted" the investigation by the International Criminal Court into the country's anti-drug campaign.

　　On the 15th, the Philippine Dangerous Drugs Commission issued a statement reiterating that in the anti-drug campaign, "there is no policy to tolerate killings and other violations of human rights."

The country’s "drug prevention and control" policy recommendations and guidelines are consistent with the spirit of the regional drug control cooperation mechanism supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the International Narcotics Control Board.

The Philippine government has publicly proposed an anti-drug action plan, adheres to the rule of law, respects human rights, and fulfills its international obligations.

　　The Philippine Dangerous Drugs Commission released the latest "Regarding Drug Abuse Patterns and Trends" household survey report. 65.8% of the respondents are aware of the government’s anti-drug campaign, 81.6% of the respondents agree with it, and nearly 80% of the respondents think Under the management of the current government, the current drug situation in the Philippines has improved significantly.

　　In February 2018, the International Criminal Court notified the Philippine government that it would launch a "preliminary investigation" into whether the action against drug crimes led by Duterte violated human rights. In March of that year, the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs notified the United Nations in writing of its decision to officially withdraw from the International Criminal Court. In March 2019, the Philippines formally withdrew from the International Criminal Court. (Finish)
