ICC judges rule Duterte fit to stand trial

Original: Rodrigo Duterte ruled fit to stand trial by ICC judges

Judges at the International Criminal Court have determined that former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is mentally fit to stand trial, clearing the way for proceedings against him to move forward. Duterte, who faces charges linked to his administration's bloody war on drugs, has been in the court's custody in The Hague. The ruling removes a key obstacle that had delayed the case.

Why now: The ruling advances a closely watched case against a former head of state accused of crimes against humanity.
