International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors have identified Philippine Senators Ronald Dela Rosa and Christopher Go as "co-perpetrators" in former President Rodrigo Duterte's alleged crimes against humanity related to his "war on drugs." The ICC is investigating Duterte for three counts of crimes against humanity, alleging his involvement in at least 76 murders. Prosecutors claim Duterte and his "co-perpetrators" shared a plan to "neutralize" alleged criminals, including those associated with drugs, through violent crimes. Dela Rosa was the former national police chief and enforcer of the drug war. Go, re-elected in May, served as a key aide to Duterte during his time as mayor and president. The document naming the officials was posted on the ICC website.
