MANILA, Philippines — The common legal representatives for victims (CLRVs) in the case against former president Rodrigo Duterte have called on Pre-Trial Chamber I to reject the defense’s application for leave to appeal a decision that denied the disqualification of two external lawyers, describing the request as "hasty" and legally deficient.
