Will Australia Host Duterte’s Interim Release From The Hague Detention?

Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, detained at the ICC in The Hague since March, seeks interim release potentially to Australia as his lawyers explore options.
The ICC prosecutors strongly oppose Duterte's release, citing risks to victims and witnesses and inconsistencies in his commitment to appear at trial.
Vice President Sara Duterte publicly supports her father's release, met with Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong, but Wong was unavailable for further discussion.
Ms. Duterte said Duterte is ‘‘stick thin’’ due to prison conditions and accused the ICC of violating Philippine sovereignty, while thousands rallied abroad calling to drop charges.
The ICC maintains Duterte’s detention is necessary under the Rome Statute, and ongoing legal debates suggest his release remains uncertain amid political and legal contention.
