The arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Russian President Vladimir Putin should serve as a 'fair warning' to defenders of the Duterte drug war, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said on Saturday.

Russia is not a member of the ICC and the tribunal does not conduct trials in absentia, so charged officials would either have to be handed over by Moscow or arrested outside of Russia. Hontiveros stressed that ICC member states"are duty bound to arrest those upon whom warrants are served" when they come into their territory.
"I can only hope that there is something to be learned from this. To those who continue to deny justice to victims of State-sponsored abuses, including the excesses of a failed Drug War, consider this fair warning," she added.into former President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drug campaign that killed thousands of people.
