Philippines the first country in Asia to arrest a former head of state or government and assist in their transfer to the ICC
 
In March of this year, authorities in Manila arrested former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte following an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Prosecutors accuse Duterte of being criminally liable for the crime against humanity of murder, linked to the Philippines' "war on drugs." Crimes against humanity are one of the four crimes the ICC investigates and prosecutes, alongside war crimes, genocide, and aggression. Per the ICC’s Rome Statute, a crime against humanity involves a widespread or systematic attack on a civilian population carried out to advance an organizational policy. 

This constitutes a historic arrest: The Philippines is only the second country in the world to arrest a former head of state or government and assist in their transfer to the ICC. (The other was Ivory Coast in the case of Laurent Gbagbo.) The arrest warrant—and Manila’s decision to comply with it—signals that even a former head of state can be arrested for violating international law. Current and former leaders with outstanding ICC warrants include Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, and Sudan’s Omar Al-Bashir.
 

Fresh from the press: New Policy Brief on Food Systems Transformation
Global Labs connects students in Geneva and beyond with International Geneva to co-create bold policy ideas. In our latest edition, 25 young authors explored the future of food systems — a pressing issue that shapes our health, environment, and sovereignty.
 
The Policy Brief outlines five key calls to action:

• Participation: Empower farmers through inclusive governance
• Coordination: Align Swiss efforts to support sustainable agriculture
• Sustainability: Ensure ethical coffee supply chains
• Sovereignty: Protect Indigenous rights with a global treaty
• Transition: Mainstream organic farming in EU policy

Our Policy Fellow for international cooperation, sustainable development and peace & security, Nazanin Asbaghipour, was one of the authors for this policy brief. Would you like to be one as well? Do you have a topic in mind? We’re already preparing the next edition, so feel free to reach out to us at innovation@foraus.ch!
