Duterte on threat of PH removal from UN: ‘Do it now’
President
Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday remained unfazed on the threat of critics
to remove the Philippines from the United Nations’ (UN) membership if
his administration fails to stop the alleged extrajudicial killings in
the country.
“Maybe
this will suffice for the stupid European Union guys. You know, they
were all focused on how many deaths… And they threatened us, they said
they will have us expelled from the UN,” Duterte said in a speech.
“My
God, do it, stupid. Do it now,” Duterte said in a speech during the
inauguration of the newly-renovated press briefing room in Malacañang.
The
President made the statement after a human rights group called for the
ouster of the Philippines from UN over the continued killings of drug
suspects either in vigilante-style street executions or police
operations related to Duterte’s war on drugs.
On
October 9, New York-based Human Rights Watch on warned that the
Philippines would be at risk of being removed from the UN Human Rights
Council because of alleged human rights violation in the country.
Not EU
The
EU had no statement calling for the Philippines’ removal from the UN
but a seven-member delegates from the Progressive Alliance and the Party
of European Socialists visited the country and called on the Duterte
administration to stop killing suspected drug addicts and silencing its
critics. /idl
