Duterte presses UN to implement bold reforms, junk ‘business as usual’ approach

This UN handout photo shows Rodrigo Roa Duterte, President, Republic of the Philippines, as he virtually addresses the general debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, on September 22, 2020, in New York.

“To make significant changes, we need to be bold. We need the same collective courage that finally made the United Nations a reality 75 years ago,” he added. Duterte also pointed to the coronavirus pandemic as the biggest test the world and the United Nations faced since World War II. He said the invisible enemy has caused “a crisis without precedent.”

“For the Philippines, this means putting up all of the peoples of our united nations at the core of this response,” he said.
