The European Union is once again challenging Donald Trump. The European Parliament has decided to award the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to the International Criminal Court and its staff, who have been the target of attacks and sanctions by the US administration. The decision sends a clear message to the American president, who is engaged in an offensive to dismantle the Hague-based body due to the actions it has taken to investigate the genocide in Gaza.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has indicted former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on three counts of crimes against humanity. It says he was involved in the murder of at least 76 people in the context of his bloody war on drugs, in a trial that was scheduled to begin this Tuesday but has been postponed. "Duterte is individually criminally responsible" for dozens of murders as an "indirect co-perpetrator," the ICC states in a charge sheet drafted in July but published Monday night, according to Efe.
