Show more »"During Afghanistan Conference, a side meeting on Yemen will be held. I am a Yemeni student in the UK and have been in touch with other Yemeni youth inside and outside the country to voice out our concerns. The group has launched this website http://www.resonateyemen.org/ to allow Yemeni youth to do so. The website is meant to focus the topic of discussion on counter-terrorism, because many speculate the Yemen-London meeting will be about that. We would like to summarize the responses and make them heard in the meeting somehow. Would that be possible?" Show less »

Show more»" We are not happy to see any peoples mistreated in the Muslim world and do not accept it at all. This is a major reason to campaign for the justice of Islam to return to these lands which are suffering under the yoke of secular dictatorships. We believe that the Caliphate has the necessary checks and balances to ensure just leadership and fair treatment of all citizens regardless of belief. At the time of the Spanish inquisition Jews fled Spain and settled in the Caliphate and prospered. The fact that many old Churches still exist today in the Middle East and the Balkans for example, is testament to the fact that the right to follow another belief and worship in their places of worship was protected in the Caliphate. It is the absence of Islam not the existence of Islam that is causing the problems you raise "Show less«

    It is a shame on anyone to stay silent, speacially in a position of power like a forign minister.

    I want to be able to visit my family, which I am not allowed to, because of the Israeli imposed closure if Gaza, denying them the most basic human rights. It is disgracefull, that you are allowing it to happen while watching silently.

Show more »"The UK has been a notable supporter of the responsibility-to-protect principle, under which when sovereign states fail to protect their citizens from mass atrocity, through incapacity or ill will, it becomes the collective responsibility of the international community to take appropriate action and sovereign immunity no longer applies.  How can responsibility to protect be seen as a genuine - binding - responsibility when behind it ultimately sits the absolute immunity that the United Nations claims for itself and its agents, as for example in the case of the failure of the United Nations and the Netherlands, through incapacity or ill will, to protect civilian refugees entrusted to their safe-keeping from genocide at Srebrenica?  How would you propose resolving this fundamental failure of accountability?
