MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Philippines could follow in Russia's footsteps by withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and join a new world order if it were established by Russia and China, President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday.
"If China and Russia will decide to create a new order, I will be the first to join," Duterte said in remarks broadcast by CNN Philippines.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order Wednesday pulling Russia’s participation from the ICC’s Rome Statute, saying the decision was in line with the country’s interest.

For PRC it will be a better investment than their 1.5 trillion US TBs paying 2% pa which can turn into toilet paper overnight with the crash of the dollar. Also the great satan will stop its military pivot if financially restrained.

"They are useless, those in the international criminal (court). They (Russia) withdrew. I might follow. Why? Only the small ones like us are battered" --- Rodrigo Duterte, Nov 17, 2016 - nothing left to say.

Russia always wait until someone else takes the elad.
And talk on no end.
Russia could begin a fully independent ICC immediately.
Russia could sell Ruble bonds. They will sell. Just guarantee a value even if values change.
But Russia needs badly a demonetization. Eliminate Dollar , Euro inside Russia It may create some stability in the long run.
Yes, exchanges will be accepted. Russia then MUST perfect a Wall Street like, to benefit from exchanges. when you come to see, Russia be running investments on free cash, that could easily amount 3 5 trillion Euros a year.
But ask Russia to sell RUBLE BONDS, to the max demand and you hear talks over the next 20 years.
This bonds , that will be guaranteed to give the fractional value as when bought, in case Ruble fall, will be given to central bank. Russia could earn TRILLIONS of the interests. After the amount to pay , is raised.
Time to FORGET the Euro and the Dollar. Every transaction should be in Ruble.. PERIOD.
And create a RUBLE CLEAR for bonds.

First, before any 3 judges or anyone see anything, each country will send judges, that will rotate. OFTEN and without advise.
This judges rotation, will happen at all participating countries. EACH assign a judge.
They could VOTE online..Or however, they wish. Probes will be from all participating countries and rotations will be rampant. Anti corruption probes will be rampant.
The law maybe under international rules, and each country participating. And of course, common law could be used.
ALL will vote on the measures to take. NO BOOK of law of ANY country will be allowed. And any country intervening in any way, in the participating countries, could be probe against crimes.
For this a new Interpol based in Russia and each participating country is a plus. They all will have to be close over security , and military. Create new blocks.
