STORYLINE:
Protesters for and against the former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte gathered outside the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Friday.

Some asked for his release while others called for justice against Duterte, who was arrested on murder charges linked to the deadly “war on drugs” he oversaw while in office.

Duterte is scheduled to make his first appearance before judges of the ICC on Friday, days after his stunning arrest in Manila.

The 79-year-old Duterte, the first Asian former leader arrested on an ICC warrant, will be read his rights and formally informed of the crimes against humanity charge that the court's prosecutors filed against him after a lengthy investigation.

Estimates of the death toll during Duterte’s presidential term vary, from the more than 6,000 that the national police have reported and up to 30,000 claimed by human rights groups.

The court will also seek to set a date for a key pre-trial hearing — likely months from now — at which judges will assess whether there is enough evidence to proceed to a full trial, which could take years.

If Duterte is convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
