Human rights groups estimate the deaths could exceed 20,000 during Duterte’s presidency alone. The bloody campaign alarmed Western governments and led to complaints that sparked the investigation by the ICC, a court of last resort for crimes that countries are unwilling or unable to prosecute themselves.

    While this is good it is politically motivated as the new prime minister, who is just as authoritarian as duterte, is trying to get rid of his political rival.

    Also not a good sign for stability as dutertes threatened and his daughter is currently vice president, so an assassination/coup attempt may be coming.
