Philippines' Duterte seen in person at International Criminal Court for first time
He is due to be tried for crimes against humanity over thousands of deaths linked to his war on drugs.
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has appeared in person at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where he is due to be tried for alleged crimes against humanity.
He is facing charges over his bloody war on drugs, which saw tens of thousands of small-time drug dealers allegedly executed summarily.
The 81-year-old wore a dark suit and white shirt on Wednesday, which marked the first time he has been seen in person since his arrest in Manila 18 months ago. He did not speak but waved at family members in the public gallery when proceedings ended.
Relatives of those killed in Duterte's brutal anti-drugs campaign watched the proceedings over a livestream in Manila.
