In bid for UN Security Council, Philippines vows to uphold rule of law
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated that the Philippines will uphold the rule of law and peaceful conflict resolution if elected to a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2027-2028 term.
Marcos reiterated this commitment at the 15th ASEAN-UN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, emphasizing the nation's dedication to the primacy of the rule of law and the peaceful settlement of disputes.
The Philippines is seeking a non-permanent seat representing the Asia-Pacific Group, having last served on the council in 2004-2005.
The President thanked ASEAN colleagues for their endorsement and support of the Philippines' candidacy.
Croatia has also expressed support for the Philippines' bid.
The Philippines' campaign for the seat occurs amidst ongoing tensions in the West Philippine Sea due to China's encroachments, despite a 2016 ruling invalidating its claims.
