Foreign policy must be an election issue

Britain goes to the polls in less than two weeks. But UK political parties have only just begun to grapple with the complex foreign policy issues which define Britain’s place in a changing world.

UNA-UK's foreign policy manifesto shows that this needs to change if the UK is to maintain its strategic importance and prosper as a nation. From climate change to gender equality, UN peacekeeping to arms control, our manifesto outlines 10 ways in which the UK can act as a global force for good - issues which have been demoted to the back pages of the parties’ manifestos, or left out altogether. Public support for this agenda is crucial. We must call on our leaders to acknowledge the need for an effective global system, and for policies that support the United Nations, which does so much good for people in this country and around the world.  Click here to help us make the case for an active and progressive UK foreign policy.
