CAN DUTERTE TAKE HIS OATH FROM ICC? A LEGAL ANALYSIS. LEGAL CHALLENGES OF FPRRD

The discussion surrounding Rodrigo Duterte's oath-taking while detained at the International Criminal Court (ICC) centers on the unprecedented legal and logistical challenges it presents. His daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, stated that three options were being explored for him to take the oath before the June 30th deadline. These options remain undisclosed pending the official proclamation. Key aspects of the discussion include: Legal feasibility: Philippine law allows for exceptions to the oath-taking deadline under justifiable circumstances. However, the ICC's jurisdiction and the Philippines' withdrawal from the Rome Statute complicate the matter. Legal experts disagree on whether Duterte can effectively govern from detention. Logistical challenges: The physical act of taking the oath poses significant logistical problems. The ICC's willingness to allow a Philippine official to administer the oath within its facilities is uncertain. Acting Mayor: In the meantime, his son, Sebastian Duterte, will serve as acting mayor. The discussion highlights the unprecedented nature of the situation and the lack of clear legal precedent. The outcome will depend on the interplay of Philippine law, ICC regulations, and diplomatic negotiations. www.cisph.net   / attybueno
