President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. may attend the 77th United Nations General Assembly in New York in September. The United States government announced diplomatic immunity can cover for him for a standing contempt order in the US.
MANILA, Philippines – President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. may attend the 77th United Nations General Assembly in New York in September, said his camp Friday, June 10, a day after the United States government announced diplomatic immunity can cover for him for a standing contempt order in the US.
Human rights lawyers in the US can alert the court when Marcos steps foot in the country, and can request a subpoena. If the subpoena is ignored, they can move for a warrant of arrest. United Nations representative to the Philippines Gustavo González met Marcos Friday and told reporters after that he and the incoming Philippine leader already talked about the preparations for him to attend the UNGA.
