PH brings up Manila Declaration, hopes for peaceful settlement of Russia-Ukraine conflict
The Philippines, through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), has called on the international community to reaffirm its commitment to the peaceful resolution of disputes, citing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The DFA invoked the Manila Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes, which provides a legal framework for diplomacy, dialogue, and the rule of law.
The call comes as Russia's invasion of Ukraine intensifies, with Russian missiles and shelling raining down on Ukrainian cities.
According to reports, 100,000 people have been displaced in Ukraine.
The DFA believes that resorting to the Manila Declaration is a pragmatic and decent approach, especially since the situation in Ukraine is not yet irreversible and there is no compelling reason for hostile actions.
