MANILA, Philippines — Any request from the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) to enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant would still undergo evaluation by the National Central Bureau (NCB) in Manila, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Monday. Under the Interpol constitution, member-countries are required to establish their respective NCB to ensure constant and active cooperation within the organization.

The evaluation is “to ensure that all supporting documents are complete and that the Interpol request is valid.” And since PH is a signatory to Interpol, “we are bound to comply and respect it.”The Philippine government has consistently maintained that it will not cooperate with the ICC’s investigation into thousands of alleged extrajudicial killings during Duterte’s vicious drug war following the country’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute, the 2002 treaty that established the court.
