The Philippines has called on the Human Rights Council to observe fairness and respect for United Nations member states’ sovereignty in its discourse of human rights issues and situations.Ambassador Enrique A. Manalo in his address during the General Assembly’s dialogue with HRC President Nazhat Shameem Khan on Oct. 29, stressed the country’s “opposition to politically-motivated use of human rights.
The Filipino diplomat noted that “country-specific resolutions that do not have the support of the State concerned stand little chance of making a meaningful difference on the ground, and are therefore a waste of resources.” This prompted Manalo to urge for a review of the structure of the budget for technical cooperation to ensure that it is fit for generating concrete and positive change on the ground.
