Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has made history as the first Asian ex-leader to be detained by the International Criminal Court. The charges he faces are grave, alleging crimes against humanity linked to his divisive and deadly 'war on drugs'.

Currently, the ICC in The Hague lists 31 suspects evading justice. Among these, notable figures include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu is accused of crimes stemming from actions in Gaza, while Putin faces allegations of war crimes related to Ukraine.

Other significant figures wanted by the ICC are Sudan's former President Omar Bashir and Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony. The court continues to review cases, with recent warrant requests targeting Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhundzada and Myanmar's military chief Min Aung Hlaing.
