DFA Statement to the status of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNFIL)

MANILA 17 October 2024 - The Philippines strongly condemns any action that endangers the safety and security of UN Peacekeepers as they fulfill their mandate in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

We urge all UN Member States to uphold their obligations under international law and ensure that peacekeepers are permitted to carry out their critical work. Violations of peacekeeping mandates undermine the rules-based international order and destabilize regions where peace efforts are most needed.

We reaffirm our commitment to multilateral cooperation for the promotion of international peace and security. END
