PUERTO PRINCESA CITY — Hinimok ni Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. na makipag-cooperate sa imbestigasyon ng International Criminal Court (ICC), batay sa Resolusyon Bilang 867.
Sa Facebook post, inihayag ng senadora na hinihimok nito ang Malacañang na makipagtulungan sa ICC at i-assist ang international tribunal sa nakabinbing imbestigasyon nito kaugnay sa lagay ng human rights sa Pilipinas.
“In proposed Senate Resolution No. 867, I noted that no less than President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has vowed “to promote human rights and a ‘high level of accountability’ for human rights violations.
The best way for Malacañang to show its commitment to upholding human rights is to work with the ICC in securing justice for human rights victims and upgrading mechanisms of human rights protections in the Philippines,” pahayag ng senadora.
“The Philippines has historically been at the forefront of advancing humanitarian law and international justice, and it is high time that we affirm our commitment to these values.”
