2. Britain’s foreign policy should promote freedom, the rule of law and the dignity of the person. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it is also in our long-term national interest.

3. International development is far more effective when organised on a person-to-person level rather than government-to-government. The basis of development is knowledge and skills. British people would gain great understanding by serving others in the developing world.

4. The United Nations requires radical reform. It will not be able to achieve its objectives while tolerating member states persistently violating its basic principles. Member states must be held to account or face expulsion.

5. British investment overseas will be a positive force only if it operates according to practices acceptable at home. Whereas it is not appropriate for Britain to impose its culture abroad, we are complicit in slave labour and environmental degradation when we pay subcontractors who do this.

6. The arms trade should restrict its market to countries which share our values. Failure to do this contributes to global instability and to specific security threats against Britain.

7. The environment requires grassroots solutions on a global scale which are impossible to realise while the vast majority of the world’s population are powerless and hungry. We cannot hope for a protected environment until people themselves have their civil and political rights protected.

8. Education is about more than skills. It should encompass the values from which our culture has grown and the recognition of where those same values are shared around the world.

9. The “Right Way”, an alliance of political parties around the world which share Conservative philosophy and through developing links can both learn new ideas and become more effective politically.

10. The neutrality of language needs to be re-established. Certain words, like globalisation and human rights have become loaded with political bias and thus are losing their meaning. Conservatives should not be afraid to address this.
