SC junks petitions vs. ICC withdrawal Published 4 weeks ago The decision by Associate Justice Marvic Leonen turned down the suit for being moot and academic, an SC statement read. (File Photo By Aerous – Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0) MANILA – The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the petitions questioning the Philippine government’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The decision by Associate Justice Marvic Leonen turned down the suit for being moot and academic, an SC statement read. “The decision acknowledged that the President, as the primary architect of foreign policy, is subject to the Constitution and existing statute. Therefore, the power of the President to withdraw unilaterally can be limited by the conditions for concurrence by the Senate or when there is an existing law that authorizes the negotiation of a treaty or international agreement or when there is a statute that implements an existing treaty,” the SC said.
