1. Legal Frameworks and Mechanisms:

   – Ratify and implement the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

   – Train law enforcement and security personnel in humane treatment and the prohibition of torture.

8. Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding:

   – Address root causes of conflicts, including socio-economic disparities and political marginalization.

   – Promote negotiation, mediation, and peaceful resolution of disputes.

    – Participate in and contribute to international human rights mechanisms and treaties.

12. Data Protection and Privacy:

   – Establish strong data protection laws to safeguard individuals’ privacy and prevent misuse of personal information.

13. Empower Vulnerable Groups:

    – Pay special attention to the rights and needs of marginalized and vulnerable groups, including women, children, LGBTQ+ individuals, and persons with disabilities.

Confusion and obfuscation prevails in Whitehall, as No10 and the Foreign Office fail to reckon with the severity of the threat from Beijing.

The latest report of the intelligence and security committee (ISC) on China makes it clear that in the face of a threat from Beijing, the Government is guilty of too often allowing economic concerns to trump security concerns. Although blocked for some months by a Government wary of its findings, it is nonetheless as damning a report on British foreign policy failure as I can remember.

Party, C. Britain’s policy on China is simply disgraceful. (2023)
