Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte was handed over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) earlier today, it says, after issuing a warrant for his arrest over his deadly crackdown on drugs.

“Mr Rodrigo Roa Duterte… was surrendered to the custody of the International Criminal Court,” the ICC says in a statement. “He was arrested by the authorities of the Republic of the Philippines in accordance with an arrest warrant issued… for charges of murder as a crime against humanity.”
