Drugs, vigilantes and assassins: things to know about Duterte's 'war'

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor has announced a "preliminary examination" into Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's alleged crimes against humanity committed as part of his deadly war on drugs. The case against Duterte was brought by a Philippine lawyer who accused the president of ordering the "mass murder" of thousands of people for dealing or using illegal drugs. Police say they have killed nearly 4,000 suspects in legitimate police operations, while nearly 2,000 homicide cases that police describe as "drug-related incidents" are under investigation.
