Allegedly, a short ceremony to commemorate the prestigious award is going to be held at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA on January 20 and the United Nations Security Council has asked for Duterte’s presence. This event shall coincide with Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 45th president of the United States.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is part of the six primary bodies of the United Nations (UN) and is known for maintaining international peace and security which makes the appointment a greater honor.

However, there are no official news about the UNSC giving out any titles such as ‘World Anti-Terrorism Ambassador.’ Furthermore, with the numerous lambasting that Duterte has done to them in the past, the UN will most probably think twice before handing out such an award to the Philippine President.

Moreover, the UNSC’s established team which works to prevent terrorist acts within the borders and across the regions of member countries, the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), is currently led by Israel ambassador Danny Danon, following his win in the election last June 2016.
