The Philippines will continue to engage with countries and international platforms when it comes to democracy and human rights as long as the engagements are constructive and respectful of its sovereignty, according to President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
"The Philippines will sustain its tradition of open, constructive, and active engagement on human rights on matters that will meaningfully contribute towards reinforcing the sinews of democracy and of freedom," he added. "We continue to improve mechanisms such as the AO35 inter-agency committee to enhance accountability. The Philippines’ commitment to fight impunity for atrocity crimes is solid and unwavering, notwithstanding the withdrawal of the country from the Rome Statute," he said, referring to the statute that established the ICC.
“We are investing more to enhance the administration of justice through the various institutions and mechanisms already in place to protect the right to life, liberty and security of the Filipino people,” Marcos said. Further, the Marcos administration has also focused on pouring resources and energy into improving the processes in the investigation of cases and the witness protection program.
