Philippines’ Duterte says he is ‘responsible’ for drug war as ICC takes him into custody
The ex-president, who was transferred to a detention unit on the Dutch coast, told his supporters ‘I am OK, do not worry’

“Whatever happened in the past, I will be the front of our law enforcement and the military. I said this already, that I will protect you, and I will be responsible for everything,” Duterte said. His remarks were his first since being put on a plane to The Hague.
The video, which has been viewed 10 million times, showed only Duterte speaking, while wearing a plain white shirt. It appeared to have been recorded inside the plane, with the faint hum of the engine audible in the background.
In a statement, the ICC said Duterte was “surrendered to the custody of the International Criminal Court. He was arrested by the authorities of the Republic of the Philippines … for charges of murder as a crime against humanity”.
He will be brought before an ICC judge in The Hague in coming days for an initial appearance, the statement said. He was transferred to a detention unit on the Dutch coast.
