Kinontra ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. ang pakikialam ng International Criminal Court (ICC) sa judicial process ng Pilipinas.
Ito ang reaksyon ni Marcos sa naganap na bilateral meeting nila ni German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sa Berlin, Germany nitong Martes, ayon kay Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Cheloy Garafil.
“That is something that we now have to deal with. Well, there is now a conflict between – in terms of jurisdiction because, in our opinion, the ICC was created when a country has no judiciary, no functioning judiciary, no police force to enforce peace and order; enforce law,” ani Marcos.

Gumagana aniya ang hudikatura ng Pilipinas, gayundin ang puwersa ng militar at pulisya nito na patuloy na nagtataguyod ng rule of law.
Matatandaang winakasan ng Pilipinas ang pakikipag-ugnayan nito sa ICC nong Marso 17, 2019
“And so, it’s really a question of jurisdiction and we have our own investigations and we’re capable of conducting our own investigations and, so we are, we are continuing to do so But as a matter of principle, it is very difficult for the Philippines to accept that an outside court will, shall I say, dictate to our policemen, ‘who they will investigate, who they will arrest and who will say, that hey, because we don’t need that advice’,” aniya.
Idinagdag pa ni Marcos na masyado na ring maraming abogado ang bansa kaya't hindi na dapat makialam pa ng ICC sa usapin.
