MANILA — Senator Imee Marcos has submitted a resolution to investigate the presence of various intergovernmental organizations in the Philippines.
In Senate Resolution 927, Marcos specifically targets the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the United Nations (UN).
Marcos asserts that the presence of these organizations in the country poses a threat to the independence and sovereignty of the Philippines.
She also referenced the purported visit of ICC investigators to the Philippines last December to collect evidence as part of their probe into the previous administration’s “war on drugs.”
Additionally, Marcos highlighted that despite the Philippines’ withdrawal from the Rome Statute and President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s statements that the ICC no longer holds jurisdiction in the country, the ICC’s investigation has allegedly persisted.
