During a Quad Comm hearing today, Duterte firmly stated that he is not afraid of the ICC.

He added that the court should hasten its investigation, noting he might die before being questioned over the alleged extrajudicial killings under his war on drugs.

Duterte assured that if found guilty of crimes against humanity, he is prepared to spend the rest of his life in prison.
