Parlimentarians for Global Action (PGA) announced yesterday that Ambassador Lauro Liboon Baja Jr., Permanent Representatives of the Philippine Mission to the United Nations, would assume the chairmanship of PGA’s United Nations Committee.
Ambassador Baja is one of the most senior and respected diplomats of the Philippines, with more than 40 years of diplomatic experience.
Prior to his appointment in New York, Ambassador Baja served as Senior Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs in charge of policy, the second highest position at the Department of Foreign Affairs.
His many accomplishments during his term as Senior Undersecretary include the Joint Statement on Cooperation for the 21st Century which he drafted and successfully negotiated with China and Vietnam; the ASEAN Joint Declaration Against Terrorism in the 2000 ASEAN Summit; the Trilateral Agreement among the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia on the Exchange of Informations and Establishment of Communications Procedure to Combat Terrorism and the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
PGA works to link individual legislators across borders and party lines, with the goal of strenghtening their capacity to pursue international peace, social justice and development.
Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) was established in 1978-1979 in Washington, D.C., USA by concerned parliamentarians from around the world to address global problems, which could not be solved by any one government or parliament.
While its initial focus was on disarmament and the prevention of nuclear proliferation, PGA today works on an expanded list of global issues such as fostering democracy, conflict prevention and management, international law and human rights, population and sustainable development.
