Hinihikayat ng International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) ang International Criminal Court (ICC) na agad nang iisyu ang arrest warrants laban kina Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, at iba pa.
Kaugnay ito sa pagkakadawit ng dalawang mambabatas sa isinapublikong mga pangalan ng ICC na umano’y “kasabwat” ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa "war on drugs" sa bansa.
Kasama nila sina Vicente Danao, Camilo Cascolan, Oscar Albayalde, Dante Gierran, Isidro Lapeña, Vitaliano Aguirre II, at iba pang miyembro ng Philippine National Police (PNP) at umano’y mga high ranking officials.

“ICHRP calls for the ICC to urgently issue arrest warrants for Dela Rosa, Go, and the others named so that they can also face trial, along with their boss Duterte,” saad ni Peter Murphy, tagapagsalita ng ICHRP sa isang pahayag nitong Linggo, Pebrero 15.
Giit pa niya, “It remains abundantly clear that the Philippine judicial system is unable to prosecute these alleged co-perpetrators. While still at large, they are a risk for destruction of evidence, intimidation of witnesses and also flight risks.”
Hinimok din ng human rights group ang ICC na tiyaking makukuha ng mga biktima ang hustisya sa nasabing kampanya kontra droga.
“The many victims of disgraced former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will at last see progress with the confirmation of charges hearing on February 23, and we urge the International Criminal Court (ICC) to ensure that justice is seen to be done,” anila.
Ipinahayag din ng grupo na sinusuportahan nila ang panawagan ng mga pamilya ng mga biktima, kasabay ang pagpuri nila sa ICC hinggil sa pagtakbo ng kaso ni FPRRD, at ang pagpapanagot din kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
“ICHRP had supported the call of the victims’ families and of many eminent jurists and human rights advocates that any manoeuvres aimed at absolving Duterte or securing his interim release be quashed. Now, Duterte must remain in detention and face justice in the ICC,” anang grupo.
Anila, “ICHRP applauds the progress of the ICC charges against Duterte, but given the massive corruption scandal that emerged from August 2025, and the repression of protests about this, we call on the international community to act on the knowledge that the Marcos Jr administration should also be held to account.”
“Marcos Jr is throwing close associates under the bus to try to evade justice and thus save himself. He is also relying on the US Trump administration to save him as an ally in a looming war with China,” dagdag pa nila.
Matatandaang tinawag na “one-sided” at “unfair” ni Sen. Bong Go ang mga alegasyong ibinato sa kaniya hinggil sa isyu.
“I dispute these allegations which are entirely unfounded, one-sided, unfair and bear no relation to the reality of my roles and responsibilities during my service as Special Assistant to the President from June 2016 to October 2018 as well as Executive Assistant to the Mayor of Davao City from 1998 to 2016,” saad ni Go.

Pagkuwestiyon naman ni Sen. Robin Padilla, hindi daw ba “depressing” ang pagdawit kina Sen. Dela Rosa at Sen. Go?
"Naiyak po talaga ako, kasi papaano na ito, sino pang kasama ko sa Senado kapag itong dalawang to nabigyan pa ng warrant of arrest eh 'di ako na lang mag-isa. Hindi po ba depressing yun?" aniya.
