The International Criminal Court has been urged to limit the questioning time for a traumatized witness involved in the proceedings related to former President Rodrigo Duterte. 

Legal representatives requested special measures to safeguard the mental health and well-being of the witness during the ongoing proceedings.

Citing severe trauma and distress, counsels emphasized the need to shorten cross-examination sessions and implement supportive trial conditions. The tribunal is considering the motion as part of its witness protection and support protocols to balance fair trial standards with witness protection guidelines.
