Senator Ronald dela Rosa is the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). He is accused of crimes against humanity linked to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial “War on Drugs.” The anti-drug campaign targeted suspected criminals, including drug users and dealers, but has been widely criticized for resulting in thousands of extrajudicial killings. Methamphetamine, locally known as “shabu,” remains a major issue in the Philippines today.
