Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has downplayed concerns about a possible arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC) while visiting Hong Kong.
His unannounced trip has fueled speculation that he may be attempting to evade legal action over his controversial 'war on drugs,' which resulted in thousands of deaths. Duterte, however, stated that he is willing to accept arrest if the ICC issues a warrant. The ICC has been investigating alleged human rights violations during his presidency.
His remarks come as international scrutiny over his administration's actions continues to grow.
