DUTERTE. Former president Rodrigo Duterte personally attends the third status conference on his case at the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands, on September 16, 2026.

MANILA, Philippines – The International Criminal Court (ICC) will hold its fifth status conference on former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s crimes against humanity case on Monday, November 2.

This comes weeks before the opening of the trial scheduled on November 30.

A status conference is where parties discuss matters related to the case before proceeding to a full trial.

So far, the court has had four conferences: on May 27, when it announced that the trial will begin on November 30; on June 23, when the chamber cautioned lawyers against granting media interviews; and the third one, on September 16, when the former president made an appearance.

The court held the fourth conference on October 13, where the parties discussed the list of evidence anew.

Duterte will skip the Monday hearing after waiving his right to be present.

Watch the livestream starting at 4:30 pm (Philippine time).
