President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday reaffirmed the Philippines’ stance as a voice of peace in the global community amid intense geopolitical rivalries, resulting in economic uncertainty across many nations, among other significant challenges.
In his special address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, President Marcos reiterated his appeal for the de-escalation of conflicts worldwide and urged all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue.“We join calls for restraint, a de-escalation and cessation of hostilities, respect for international law, including the UN Charter and humanitarian law and for all concerned to return to the negotiating table – for peace,” he said. The statement reflects the kind of voice the Philippines wants to bring to the UN Security Council. At a time when wars from Ukraine to the Middle East strain the authority of the UN, Manila is positioning itself as a nation that still believes “diplomacy must always be given space to succeed.” The message aims to strengthen the Philippines’ bid for a non-permanent seat at the UNSC by framing the country as a steady advocate of dialogue and international law, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region whose “stability shapes global prosperity.”
