Philippine justice chief orders arrest of senator wanted by ICC

Dela Rosa is wanted for alleged crimes against humanity related to his enforcement of former President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly war on drugs. Despite a petition to the Philippine Supreme Court to block the warrant, the court refused, and authorities are now pursuing leads on Dela Rosa's location, with warnings issued against aiding his evasion.
