On the Election of the Philippines to the United Nations Human Rights Council

  • October 22, 2018
  • 9:28 AM

Being elected at the Council entails enormous responsibility for the Philippine government to demonstrate its sincerity for the adherence to international human rights principles. Tremendous work is required from the government to address the continuing gross human rights violations in the country.

The Commission will monitor these pledges as we engage the Philippine government and call on them to fulfil their human rights obligations as a member of the Council.
