Philippines Champions Rules-Based Global Order

  Diplomatic Plea at the United Nations General Assembly

In a stirring appeal made at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the Philippines, voiced through Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, acting on behalf of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., passionately implored member nations to unite in safeguarding the indispensable rules-based global order. Manalo, with unwavering conviction, underscored the profound shared responsibility to preserve this vital framework. It is anchored in international law and guided by the enduring principles of equity and justice, a call to action resonating across borders.   A Pledge for Peace Amidst Disputes The Philippines reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful dispute resolution in collaboration with other nations. Notably, Secretary Manalo addressed the ongoing issue with China concerning the West Philippine Sea. He asserted, "This has always been our position with respect to the disputes in the West Philippine Sea, inasmuch as we are prepared to defend our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and territorial integrity."  

A Friend to All, Enemy to None

Quoting President Marcos Jr., Manalo reiterated the Philippines' stance as "a friend to all and enemy to none." He highlighted the nation's constitutional commitment to renounce war as a tool of national policy, embracing principles of international law, peace, equality, justice, freedom, cooperation, and amity with all nations.   Upholding International Agreements Manalo, in a resolute manner, underscored the unwavering dedication of the Philippines to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Notably, he highlighted the nation's recent signing of the Treaty on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, signifying its commitment to responsible stewardship of the high seas. Furthermore, Manalo placed significant emphasis on the paramount importance of UNCLOS. In support of this assertion, he cited the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea, a historic moment that definitively settled maritime entitlements and historic rights in the region. This unequivocal stance solidifies the Philippines' adherence to international law and maritime order.  

Navigating Emerging Threats

Recognizing the peril posed by destructive and disruptive weapons, Secretary Manalo passionately called for the primacy of the rule of law in this critical matter. Furthermore, he strongly advocated for the responsible use of emerging technologies and emphatically stressed the pressing need for international cooperation. This cooperation is essential to ensure that these innovative technologies are not weaponized or misused to the detriment of global security and stability. Commitment to Sustainable Development The Philippines pledged its support for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in its long-term plans. Manalo emphasized that this commitment would open doors for cooperation, especially among middle-income countries, to advance South-South collaboration and global development goals.   Championing Human Rights and Addressing Climate Change As a member of the UN Commission on Human Rights, the Philippines firmly promised to advocate for the rights of vulnerable groups. This includes women, children, indigenous peoples, migrants, persons with disabilities, refugees, and older persons. Manalo passionately stressed the paramount importance of fostering genuine, evidence-based, and depoliticized dialogue on human rights. Turning to the critical issue of climate change, the Philippines went a step further by calling for even stronger multilateral cooperation. It emphatically urged industrialized countries to wholeheartedly fulfill their solemn obligations under both the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. Additionally, Manalo expressed gratitude for efforts to bring state obligations related to climate change to the International Court of Justice.  

A Call for Multilateral Unity

In conclusion, Secretary Manalo urged solidarity in fostering a multilateral architecture that upholds the rule of law and addresses the challenges of our era. He emphasized the importance of investing wisely in sound, inclusive, and forward-thinking multilateral institutions that adhere to high standards of governance, equity, inclusivity, transparency, and accountability. The Philippines vowed to support such institutions in their mission.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency. Read the full article

Ozone Day.

International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer (informally and simply called Ozone Day) is celebrated on September 16 designed by the United Nations General Assembly. This designation had been made on December 19, 2000, in commemoration of the date, in 1987, on which nations signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. In 1994, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 16 September the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date of the signing, in 1987, of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The closure of the hole in the ozone layer was observed 30 years after the protocol was signed. Due to the nature of the gases responsible for ozone depletion their chemical effects are expected to continue for between 50 and 100 years.

Swiss Focuses on Transboundary Water Management at UN in New York

�� Focused on SDG 6 and SDG 11

A Swiss delegation is actively participating in the United Nations' 2023 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in New York, held from July 10 to 19. During this crucial preparatory event for the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit in September, Switzerland is placing special emphasis on SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation for all) and SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities).   Event on Transboundary Water Management for Sustainable Development As part of its commitment to sustainable development, Switzerland organized an event on transboundary water management on July 12. The event aimed to showcase the power of cooperation in this domain to drive sustainable development and foster peace. Switzerland has been instrumental in setting up a regional platform in Central Asia to promote political dialogue, better water resource management, and ease tensions between different users at regional and national levels.   Recognized Expertise in Transboundary Water Management Switzerland, sharing six rivers and four lakes with its neighbors, is internationally recognized for its expertise in transboundary water management. The country initiated the Blue Peace initiative in 2010, combining diplomacy with development cooperation. Additionally, in 2022, Switzerland played a key role in establishing the Transboundary Water Cooperation Coalition, which includes more than 40 states and non-state actors.  

Mid-term Assessment of the 2030 Agenda

The HLPF, organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), serves as a significant milestone in preparation for the 2023 SDG Summit during the UN General Assembly's 78th session. During this summit, heads of state and governments of all UN member states will adopt a political declaration outlining additional measures to implement the 2030 Agenda. It marks the halfway point in the timeline for achieving the SDGs since their adoption in 2015.   Key Issues in the Political Declaration At the HLPF, negotiations for the political declaration are already underway, with a focus on increasing investments in the Global South to achieve the SDGs. Switzerland is advocating for a pivotal role for non-state actors from various sectors, including business, science, and civil society, alongside state actors.  

Swiss Commitment to Implementing the 2030 Agenda

Markus Reubi, Federal Council delegate for the 2030 Agenda and head of the Swiss delegation to the HLPF, emphasizes Switzerland's dedication to reinvigorating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The 2023 Sustainable Development Report by the UN highlights the need for additional measures to achieve the SDGs fully. Switzerland has a determination to accelerate progress both at the national and global levels and ensure a just and resilient transition.  

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

The 2030 Agenda encompasses 17 SDGs and 169 targets that address a wide range of challenges, including poverty, education, food security, gender equality, marine resource protection, terrestrial ecosystem preservation, and access to clean energy. The Federal Council views the 2030 Agenda as the most suitable framework to tackle humanity's common challenges. As Switzerland continues its efforts at the UN's High-level Political Forum, it remains committed to fostering sustainable development through transboundary water management, investment in the Global South, and collaboration with diverse stakeholders. The nation is dedicated to achieving the 2030 Agenda, setting a lasting impact on sustainable development and peace globally.   Sources: THX News & Swiss Federal Council. Read the full article
