According to Dela Rosa, he was “slighted” when Urban raised the resolution filed by Sen. Jinggoy Estrada urging the Senate to oppose the ICC’s plan to resume its investigation into the drug war killings during the Duterte administration.
The police general-turned-senator has been included as Duterte’s co-respondent in the complaint for crimes against humanity filed in the ICC by the relatives of some drug war victims.“That’s why I told him, ‘You know your honor, if you know your history, we were conquered, ruled and enslaved by the Spaniards for more than 300 years. And now that we have gained our freedom, we expect other countries to respect our sovereignty,’” he said.
“No voices were raised. I have to correct that. We had a good dialogue,” Tolentino said in a separate press briefing.“For me, this has been a fruitful dialogue between the European Union’s subcommittee on human rights. We discussed a lot of issues concerning the entire universe of human rights issues,” he said.
