BIGO si Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque na makapasok sa International Law Commission.
Gayunman, nagpapasalamat pa rin umano siya sa oportunidad na makasama sa ikinonsidera sa komisyon.
“My candidature at the ILC was a challenging campaign throughout but we met it head on. Unfortunately, we did not succeed,” sabi ni Roque.
Partikular na pinasalamatan ni Roque si Pangulong Duterte sa kanyang nominasyon.
“I thank President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, for his nomination and unwavering support of my candidature. I thank the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the officers and staff of the Philippines’ Permanent Mission to the United Nations, for their steadfast professionalism and support,” dagdag ni Roque.
Matatandaang mahigit 100 abogado ang naghain ng oposisyon sa kandidatura ni Roque sa ILC.
“I wish the new members of the ILC success, especially as they tackle challenging issues such as rising sea levels and vaccine equality – issues which I will continue to advocate for as well,” aniya.
