Findings:
1. No warrant was issued by a Philippine court.
2. No court order was issued mandating that the former president be taken out of the Philippines against his will.
3. The Philippines had no legal obligation to arrest Duterte and turn him over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) given the admission that the Philippine government only received a diffusion notice and not a red notice from the International Criminal Police Organization or the Interpol.
4. Duterte was deprived of the right to be visited or have conferences with immediate members when CIDG Chief Nicolas Torre III did not allow Vice President Sara Duterte to visit her father while in Villarmor Airbase.
5. Duterte was denied the right to be brought to judicial authorities.
6. Duterte was denied the right to apply for an interim release under the same Article of the Rome Statute on the right to apply for bail under prevailing jurisprudence on extradition.
7. The argument of Secretary of Justice [Jesus Crispin] Remulla is deeply flawed. Duterte is accused of crimes against humanity not war crimes. IHL refers to war crimes.
8. The Philippine government “decided to assist” the ICC to arrest Duterte.
