*Duterte Seeks Transfer From ICC Custody, Assures No Flight Risk* Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has requested the International Criminal Court to allow his temporary release to another country, his lawyer said in a petition. The request cites his old age and his assurance that he will neither run away nor commit any further crimes.
