Ping Lacson: `Pinas ibalik sa ICC

Sang-ayon ang ilang kandidato ng Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas na bumalik ang Pilipinas sa International Criminal Court (ICC) na nakabase sa The Hague, Netherlands.

Ayon kay dating Senador Panfilo `Ping’ Lacson, ang ICC ay global court ng mga “powerless” na bansa kaya’t mainam na muling sumali ang Pilipinas dito dahil sila ang may hurisdiksiyon sa mga reklamong may kinalaman sa war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity at iba pa.

“Ang ICC is the global court for the powerless. Meaning, court of last resort. Ang kanilang general jurisdiction, ito ang nagde-deal sa war crimes, genocide, crimes vs humanity. Doon naka-focus ang kanilang jurisdiction,” sabi ni Lacson sa isang press conference.

Sabi pa ni Lacson, hindi kailanman kikilalanin at hindi puwedeng maghain ng reklamo ang isang bansa sa ICC lalo na kung hindi ito miyembro.

“Halimbawang ma-invade tayo ng ibang bansa, without referring to any particular country, baka kung di tayo member, di tayo maka-seek ng redress or maka-complain kasi di tayo recognized kung sakaling may war crimes na ma-commit dito ng bansang hypothetically mag-invade,” ani Lacson.

“Ang personal opinion ko, we should rejoin. And I limit my answer to personal opinion, na sabi ko nga, global court for the powerless. Ito ang universally abhorred crimes committed against a group of people, binanggit ko na genocide and so forth. So very strong ano ko rito we should rejoin,” dagdag pa niya.

Para naman kay Senate Majority Floor Leader Francis Tolentino, kailangan ang ratipikasyon ng Senado sakaling bumalik ang Pilipinas sa ICC.

“Hayaan na natin ang 20th Congress na magdesisyon yan kabilang na ibang mahahalagang tratado na napasukan. Kailangan siguro ng collegial decision

hand in hand with moves of the Department of Foreign Affairs,” ani Tolentino. (Dindo Matining)
