Friend of global dictators, Duterte wasn't granted presidential immunity to violate international law in his own state of the Philippines.

Duterte leaves for The Hague to face ICC | Manila Times |

Former president Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday night boarded a plane that would take him to The Hague, Netherlands where he would be tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity linked to his war against illegal drugs.

A Gulfstream V (GLF 5) jet, bearing tail number RPC5219, left the Philippines and will be making a brief refueling stop in Dubai before proceeding directly [Rotterdam airport] to The Hague. The flight, arranged by Challenger Aero Air Corporation, is being piloted by Captains Johnny Gulla and Elmo Segovia, according to sources privy to the preparations.

Duterte's arrest follows the ICC's issuance of a warrant over his administration's controversial war on drugs, a campaign that left thousands dead, many under murky circumstances suspected to be extrajudicial killings.
