The Philippines has echoed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) call for adequate resources from the United Nations for the effective implementation of peacekeeping mandates in the region. ManilaBulletin
Noel Novicio, Philippine representative to the country's mission to the UN, said ASEAN will work with other delegations in examining the Secretary General's budget request of some USD 6.8 billion for the upcoming fiscal year.
In the meeting, Novicio said ASEAN commends UN's peacekeeping personnel for helping maintain peace in affected countries and regions, largely due to the delivery of political and peacebuilding support to prevent the outbreak of war and help countries transition from conflict to sustainable peace. Novicio said the resolution has been instrumental in providing policy guidance and resources to allow peacekeeping missions to efficiently and effectively carry out their mandates.
The regional body will also prioritize upholding preventive measures to eradicate sexual exploitation and abuse, he added.
