MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday hailed the Senate for concurring in the ratification of a treaty that would ban the development and use of nuclear weapons.
In a statement from the Office of the President, Duterte described the ratification of the Treaty of the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as a “milestone”, reinforcing the country’s resolve together with the international community in pursuing a world free of nuclear weapons for peace, security, and the survival of all humanity.
Duterte said that as State Party to the TPNW, the Philippines is faithful to the policy of freedom from nuclear weapons in our territory as enshrined in the 1987 Constitution.
MANILA: The Philippine Senate has pledged its full support for a UN treaty outlawing the development and use of nuclear weapons.
Twenty-three senators on Monday voted to approve a resolution on the issue, making the Philippines the 53rd nation to adopt the 2017 UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
The TPNW is the first globally applicable multilateral agreement to comprehensively prohibit nuclear weapons on the basis of international humanitarian law.
The pact bans countries from developing, testing, producing, acquiring, or stockpiling nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.
It also prohibits state parties from assisting, encouraging, or inducing anyone to engage in allowing nuclear weapons to be stationed, installed, or deployed in their respective territories and obligates parties to help individuals affected by the use or testing of atomic weapons, and to take appropriate measures toward the environmental remediation of contaminated areas.
