‘ICC erred’
While the government had a position to stop engaging the International Criminal Court after it rejected the appeal against the continuation of the investigation into the war on drugs, a check of the ICC ruling showed it was neither conclusive nor unanimous. The ICC was divided right in the middle regarding its decision. Of the five magistrates making up the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I that voted on the Philippine case, presiding officer Judge Marc Perrin de Brichambaut of France and Judge Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia dissented. The ICC body’s majority which ruled against the Philippines’ petition was composed of Judge Piotr Hofmaski of Poland, Judge Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, and Judge Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda. Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the government has cut off its line to the ICC following the intrusive ruling. The dissenting opinion reflected the struggle among the judges in handing down the rejection of the Philippine plea. In gist, the two dissenters considered that the tribunal cannot exercise its jurisdiction over the Philippines’ situation since its withdrawal from the Rome Statute became effective in 2019 before the Prosecutor requested authorization to commence an investigation. “Just as a State that is not, or is no longer, Party to the Statute cannot refer a situation to the Court under Article 13(a) of the Statute and thus trigger the Court’s exercise of jurisdiction (though it may accept the jurisdiction of the Court under Article 12(3)), the Prosecutor cannot commence the process of triggering the jurisdiction of the Court once a withdrawal has become effective and the State in question is no longer Party to the Statute,” according to the joint dissent of the two magistrates. “The Court’s jurisdiction must be triggered before the withdrawal has become effective. Put differently, once the State’s withdrawal has become effective, the Prosecutor can no longer open an investigation,” the judges contended. The contrary opinion continued: “Bearing in mind that the Rome Statute is an international treaty and international criminal code at the same time, two concomitant interests may be discerned when a State withdraws from the Statute.” It cited Article 127 which guarantees to the State Parties a “right to withdraw from the Statute.” In this regard, the dissenters said, “We consider that it is a fundamental right of States to decide whether they want to be bound by a treaty or not.” According to the dissent, “In the instant situation, since the Prosecutor had not proceeded to trigger the Court’s jurisdiction before the withdrawal became effective, the Philippines reasserted what it considered to be its primary jurisdiction.” When former Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda submitted her request for authorization of an investigation on 24 May 2021, the Philippines was no longer an ICC member, “its withdrawal having become effective on 17 March 2019.” It was further noted that the Pre-Trial Chamber issued its Article 15(4) decision, authorizing the commencement of the Prosecutor’s investigation, on 15 September 2021, more than two years after the Philippines’ withdrawal took effect. In conclusion, the two judges contended that “we consider that the Pre-Trial Chamber erred in law in concluding that the Court had jurisdiction over the Philippines Situation despite the Philippines’ withdrawal from the Rome Statute.” As a result, ICC would have granted the Philippines first ground of appeal and found that the Court cannot exercise jurisdiction in the Philippines’ Situation, according to the two judges. It submitted that “we would have found the remaining grounds of appeal moot. We would also have directed the Pre-Trial Chamber to withdraw its authorization for the Prosecutor’s investigation and discontinue all proceedings in the situation.” The points raised by the two judges validated the position of the Philippines that the ICC would be merely intruding into the affairs of an independent nation that has ceased to be part of the creation of the hypocrites of the world who insist on imposing their will on less developed nations.

‘Girl from Ipanema’ singer Astrud Gilberto dead at 83: family
Astrud Gilberto, the Brazilian singer whose soft, whimsical voice made "The Girl from Ipanema" a worldwide sensation in the 1960s and provided a huge boost to the budding bossa nova genre, has died at age 83, her family said. "I come bearing the sad news that my grandmother became a star today and is next to my grandfather Joao Gilberto," Sofia Gilberto wrote on social media early Tuesday. The singer was born in Salvador, capital of Brazil's northeastern state of Bahia, in 1940 and was married to Joao Gilberto, a pioneer of the bossa nova genre who died in 2019. Astrud Gilberto recorded 19 albums in her career, but she had little professional music experience when she turned "The Girl from Ipanema" -- the song by Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes -- into a global smash singing the English verses alongside American saxophonist Stan Getz. The version made Gilberto the first Brazilian to be nominated for a Grammy, an award she won for song of the year in 1965.
