Retired SC Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said the government should immediately start a campaign to win over members of the UN before asking them to vote against Chinese harassment in the WPS and to uphold the 2016 arbitral award in favor of the PH.
A Senate resolution that supports Carpio’s stand has been filed and is being debated.
Seeking a UNGA vote on the dispute between the Philippines and China was on the “menu of options” of the Department of Foreign Affairs , according to Foreign Undersecretary Antonio Morales, who told a forum on Wednesday.
The UNGA would be the best place to urge China to comply with the award that reaffirmed Manila’s sovereign rights over its EEZ and strike down Beijing’s “nine-dash line” claims.The President’s sister, Sen. Imee Marcos, was wary about raising the country’s dispute with China to the UNGA. “Let’s stop poking the panda,” she said, adding that “terrible, dangerous mistakes will be made if we carry on like this.”While Carpio admitted that 22 percent was not enough, he said this was more than the support China had.
“If you combine all their donations, they dwarf China’s assistance, so we have a good chance,” Carpio pointed out.In 2019, former Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr., who is now the country’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, rejected the proposal to bring the arbitral award to the UNGA.
