Here is my summarised version of Cameron's keynote speech to the Council of Europe 25th Jan 2012.
Prime Minister David Cameron:
UK Commitment to Human Rights
“First, I want to make something clear.
Human rights is a cause that runs deep in the British heart and long in British history.
When the Arab Spring erupted, the UK was a principal supporter of resolutions at the UN Human Rights Council.
We are leading EU partners in maintaining pressure on Syria.
We have played a key role in securing EU sanctions against Iran.
Through the UN, we are working to empower women in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East.
We have pledged additional money to the Special Fund for Torture Prevention.
And we are contributing to the Council of Europe’s own Human Rights Trust Fund.
All these are clear signals of our belief in fundamental human rights.
And if called to defend that belief with action, we act.”
I was so angry when I read this masterpiece of duplicity and double standards I decided to write to the Rt Hon David Cameron.
If anyone would like to express his or her views to The Rt Hon David Cameron MP his address is 10 Downing Stree, London, SW1A 2AA.
Here’s the full text of his speech.
