The United Nations General Assembly should be able to tell China to “behave” in the West Philippine Sea, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said on Tuesday in a bid to raise the issue before the international body. | BPinlacINQ
“What China has been doing is none other than a consistent rejection of the basic tenets of international law. This is a blunt refusal of Beijing to accept its fate — its legal fate. This should have serious consequences. This cannot be ignored,” Hontiveros said in Filipino.
Hontiveros argued that a UNGA resolution would carry “meaningful, political weight” and would serve as the willful consensus of the international community on the maritime dispute. “I would support that. Because in recent months, the Chinese Coast Guard, in particular, has been very hostile to the Navy, to our fishermen, to the Philippine Coast Guard, and even to our media men,” he said in a media interview at the Senate.
Sen. Sonny Angara, meanwhile, said the Philippines should carefully weigh its options in dealing with the West Philippine Sea issue.
