Last week, Foreign Minister Hugo Tolentino Dipp at a meeting of the Association of Caribbean States declared: ?The commitments of international organizations to keep the peace should not be violated by the unilateral stand of any state, because only the plural and majority?s voice can rightfully make decisions in the name of the international community.?
Now that the war is on, Hoy newspaper reports that President Hip?lito Mej?a told journalists at a meeting between the church and media yesterday that he backs the US in the Middle Eastern conflict. When asked if he backed the war, he said that neither he, nor anyone in his government, could support war of any kind.
