Ipiprisinta sa Lunes, Mayo 8, ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang mga tagumpay nito sa karapatang pantao sa Universal Periodic Review (UPR) ng United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sa Geneva, iniulat kahapon ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

“The Philippines welcomes the forthcoming UPR session as an opportunity to highlight the country’s significant and sustained achievements in upholding, promoting and protecting the human rights of every Filipino through a whole-of government approach and in partnership with all stakeholders,” sabi ni Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, co-leads sa delegasyon ng Pilipinas sa UPR kasama si Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra.

“The Philippines has been a strong supporter of the UPR and the Philippines attaches utmost importance to the work of the Human Rights Council, especially as it contributes to building the capacity of States to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms,” dagdag pa ng senador.
