The growing support among administration senators for the government to raise before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) China’s many violations of the historic 2016 arbitral ruling would bolster the Philippines’ efforts to protect its territorial integrity, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said on Monday. “This is very important if somehow we take it all the way to the UNGA adopting the resolution,” Hontiveros told reporters at the Kapihan sa Senado forum. “It may not be legally binding with China, but its political weight is heavy since it will show the sense (of the Senate) and the will of the international community.”n Facebook
