What are scenarios, entitlements, and prospects of Duterte staying in jail beyond September 23?

MANILA, Philippines – Between now and the scheduled confirmation of charges hearing on September 23, there will be a lot of intense paperwork from the prosecution and the defense team of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Meanwhile, Duterte will learn what it’s like to be in partial solitude inside the world-class Scheveningen prison of the International Criminal Court (ICC). It’s partial because he will have regular access to doctors, consular officers, lawyers, and even a spiritual adviser if he wants. Family visitations will be given priority.

Outside prison, Prosecutor Karim Khan’s evidence will be tested under a higher standard, while witnesses and victims prepare for their logistics, safety, and insurance against impunity.

Here’s a breakdown of the things you need to know before both the ICC prosecutor and Duterte hurdle their first big test.
