Philippines' top official says rich countries’ vaccine donation a move to ease their ‘guilty conscience’


MANILA, Oct 4 (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Covid-19 vaccine donation of rich countries under the COVAX facility are just “feel-good” efforts aimed to assuage their “guilty conscience” for monopolizing vaccine supply, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said on Monday.

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said this as he reiterated his Covid-19 vaccine equity advocacy in his bid for a seat at the International Law Commission (ILC), a United Nations panel that develops and codifies international law.
