AI Summary:
Rodrigo Duterte has become the first former Asian leader to be arrested by the global court. The 79-year-old is accused of crimes against humanity over deadly anti-drug crackdowns he oversaw while in office. Major powers — the United States, Russia and China— are among nations that are not members. Ali Mohammed Ali Abdul Rahman Ali is accused of committing atrocities as the leader of the Janjaweed militia in Sudan. Detainees have access to books, television and news, as well as a gym and sports facilities. The court has issued arrest warrants for dozens of suspects since it was established in 2002. Netanyahu condemned the warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions” by the court. Other suspects wanted by the ICC include former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and Joseph Kony, leader of Ugandan militia Lord’s Resistance Army.
